Day 1 includes an IPEDS workshop and Newcomers Workshop.

November 14, 2022 – 9:00 am – 5:00 pm Beyond Compliance: How to Use IPEDS Data to Examine Student and Institutional Success This workshop is designed for individuals interested in utilizing IPEDS data to examine and measure student and institutional success. The first half of the workshop explores the five IPEDS surveys that contain academic performance metrics (Completions, Graduation Rates, 200% Graduation Rates, Fall Enrollment, and Outcome Measures). Through group discussion, activities, and lectures, participants will learn what the measurements can—and cannot—tell us about student and institutional performance. The second half of the workshop will involve hands-on activities to work through a series of case studies based on real-life scenarios. Participants will identify the question being asked in each case study; determine the best metric(s) to use to answer the question; extract data using the IPEDS tools; perform analyses; and present the data to answer the question. Participants will gain the knowledge needed to explore and answer questions at their institutions or organizations. Newcomer’s Workshop: Presented by Amber Hall and Lee Sanders (former AIRO board member and long-time Newcomer’s Workshop Leader) [1:00-4:00 pm]

ADHE will be hosting a meeting on May 21st regarding the technical changes that will be coming with the new Arkansas Higher Education Information System which is scheduled to deploy for AY2020. We recommend at least one person from every institution attend (public, private, 2year, and 4 year!). We will not be able to host this meeting as a webinar. It is our recommendation that someone from your Institutional Research office be in attendance. In addition, if your programmer or technical person who works with ADHE files is outside of IR, that person is recommended to attend as well. Topics to be addressed will include: change over date/timeline, data conversion, changes to processing (what the institution sees), changes to the validation process, changes to local data packages from ADHE, changes to reporting/data summaries, and so much more.

The Association for Institutional Research (AIR) and the Arkansas Institutional Research Association (AIRO) are pleased to co-host 3, half-day IPEDS Workshops for data providers and users. The workshops are provided at no cost and financial support for these workshops is provided by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).
