Facilitator: Lester DSouza, AAIR Business Intelligence & Analytics SIG Chair
As we all know, we now live in a data-driven society.
Did you know that 90% of all data that exists in the world today was created in the last 2 years? Statistics also suggest that every two years, the volume of data in the world doubles in size. So, what do we do with all this data? If we’re not on top of it now, will we ever get there?
This is an issue that Altis Consulting has faced head-on with many of their higher education clients, assisting institutions with accessing data from their many sources and getting them from zero to insight as fast and effectively as possible.
Join Lester DSouza, AAIR’s Business Intelligence & Analytics SIG Chair, in conversation with Phil Stevens, Principal Consultant from Altis, as they unpack everything data and how the higher education sector can benefit.
They will take you through framework design approaches to enabling your data platform to ingest, manage and present data from all kinds of sources to ensure that getting the insights out to the decision makers in your institutions is easier than ever.
See you there!

Facilitator: Cassandra Saunders, AAIR Surveys and Evaluation SIG Chair
Guest presenter: Rick Somers, Safe Student Surveys
Student evaluation of teaching surveys is extensively employed across the higher education sector to gather student feedback on learning and teaching. Whilst they offer valuable insights from the student perspective and crucial information for educators and institutions to enhance teaching, curriculum, and quality assurance, they also present challenges, including the potential for educators to be adversely affected by abusive or malicious comments.
In this SIG session we will be joined by Rick Somers from Safe Student Surveys who has developed a tool that screens for harmful content in student evaluations of teaching. The tool has been developed with the aim to help universities eliminate the harm caused through these surveys in cases where students provide harmful, offensive or discriminatory feedback. The software uses AI models and keyword matching to identify harmful comments with accuracy, precision and efficiency in order to reduce the psychosocial harm they cause, thereby making the higher education space safer. The webinar will include a demonstration of the software, which is currently being offered free to Australian universities.

An open session to share innovative practices and share ideas.
Facilitator: Cassandra Saunders, AAIR Surveys and Evaluation SIG Chair
With a deep-seated focus on quality assurance now embedded across the higher education sector, the student voice has become a critical component to measure educational quality. However, with an increased demand on students to provide feedback comes the challenge of continuously devising innovative ways to engage them in the student feedback process. Low response rates not only impact data quality and reliability, but also increase the likelihood of biased results.
This SIG session will be run as an open session in which attendees will have an opportunity to share current challenges related to student survey engagement at their individual institutions, and to share and discuss current strategies and any innovative approaches to maximise survey engagement and reduce response bias.
Active participation in the discussion is strongly encouraged for this session, so please come along ready to share your thoughts and ideas.
