Student Success Measures
27 January 2022 (11:00 am – 12:30 pm Hawai’i Standard Time, HST)
Online
MIRO Virtual Symposium
Although how to define and measure student success might be different for institutions that have different missions and serve different student populations, there are some commonly accepted student success measures and similar data challenges to track student success among higher education institutions. In this session, our guest speakers will share some recent scholarly research about student success and discuss how to use NSSE data to improve student success. The MIRO team will demonstrate how they include key student success measures in their homegrown decision support system, and make student success measures such as retention rates, graduation rates, time to completion, academic performance, NSSE results, and student experience data easy to access and digest for campus decision makers.

Discover how data leaders are leveraging people, processes and harnessing technology and automation to achieve the flexibility and scalability they need from their data platforms.
AIPIO Conference 2021
21–25 February 2022

The AIPIO (www.aipio.asn.au) is the peak representative body for intelligence practitioners in Australia. Our goal is to establish and promote intelligence as a widely recognised profession in Australia, and our membership is drawn from a wide range of fields including government, national security, the armed forces, law enforcement, business, academia, the media, information technology and information service providers.
The theme will be ‘The Evolving Intelligence Landscape’, with four sub-themes – business, criminal, regulatory, and security – each representing established and emerging domains of practice across the intelligence landscape. New domains of intelligence practice – which enhance the national intelligence enterprise – should be driven by the adoption of intelligence-led approaches to deal with novel challenges in complex operating environments. These new domains of intelligence practice are following different capability development pathways differentiated by mandates, methods, terminology, technological enablement, oversight, and level of professionalisation.
