Putting It Together: Driving Outcomes with Data from Multiple Sources

As distance and online learning programs are used more in conjunction with face-to-face programs, the need for institutions to demonstrate how data is used to advance student learning has increased. The question that lingers is, How do you connect the various and sometimes disparate data sources at the institution's disposal? At Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Nursing Taking, we have taken a master data management (MDM) approach to merging data from the disparate data sources while also cleansing, matching, and deduplicating records to create more directed KPIs and scorecards for programmatic improvements to drive student success.

OUTCOMES: Understand how using an MDM approach can help connect disparate data sources into one usable source while demonstrating the importance of transparency in data collection when it comes to driving outcomes; develop strategies for using an MDM approach within your institution's data sources
