Dear all,
We're currently conducting an impact assessment of admissions, and it has proved surprisingly difficult to extract and analyse the relevant data from the student information management system. There seem to be various reasons for this, some of them technical ones which I don't pretend to understand. I'm wondering whether this is a common experience across the sector, or whether it is something to do with our particular information management systems.
Questions:
What (quantitative) data have you been able to analyse for use in impact assessments?
Has it been difficult to get hold of the raw data, that is, to extract it from the system?
Who has been responsible for analysing it, and have they encountered any major problems?
I'd be very interested to hear your answers, and will compile a summary for the list if anything useful emerges!
Best wishes,
Katya
