Five Questions with Joshua Lee

Manager, Institutional Analytics and Data Science, The University of Sydney, Australia

Connect with Joshua

Joshua chose to be interviewed in chair #9.

1. What is your job title?

Manager, Institutional Analytics and Data Science at The University of Sydney.

2. Briefly, how would you describe your role in terms of your place in your institution?

Running a small but busy ‘data R&D’ team – integrating, exploring, and visualising institutional data in new ways to support emerging strategic reporting needs.

3. From your perspective, what are the emerging areas of interest in institutional research?

Everyone is interested in geospatial data, especially in a COVID-19 world. Where are our students, and how do we know that what they’ve told us is correct? We don’t have tracking devices on all of them, but ‘big’ data can be almost as good.

4. What do you believe will be the future priorities for institutional research?

Learning analytics, especially in light of the radical shift in teaching delivery to online, and tackling many of the student experience and educational integrity problems that come along with it.

5. Complete this statement: In my role, I can’t operate effectively without …

… can I say, ‘resourcing and staff’? 😉 Otherwise – cooperation and communication at all levels, from data owners to SMEs through to ICT and data engineering.
