The Office of Institutional Research and Assessment (OIRA), the Center for Faculty Excellence (CFE), and Information Technology Services (ITS) have collaborated on the development of information-driven resources in an effort to improve the quality of instruction and inclusiveness in the classroom. Using SAS Visual Analytics, IR has created an interactive dashboard for course instructors to access longitudinal information on student demographics and grade distributions for all courses they have taught since 2010. The institutional goals of this resource are to 1) increase faculty awareness about student diversity; 2) provide instructors with information they can use to improve student learning; and 3) to encourage a systematic approach to improving teaching and learning. In this presentation we will discuss the roles of IR, CFE, and ITS on the project, piloting and provisioning the dashboard, and what is coming next for this partnership.
