Quality datasets are at the foundation of excellent institutional research work, but the ability to compile these requisite datasets is heavily impacted by a school's policies and practices around data collection and management. In this session, we will look at several common types of data analysis projects and discuss the data policies and best practices needed to support those projects, focusing on issues like identifying high value data, creating sustainable data quality control practices, and easing cross-platform data merging. Through a combination of exercises and share outs, participants will walk away with concrete strategies to improve their school's data strategy and lay a strong foundation for impactful institutional research work.
