PDP: Outcomes: Institution-Level Dashboard Introduction and Basic Functionality
This tutorial provides an introduction to the Outcomes: Institution-Level Dashboard available through the Postsecondary Data Partnership (PDP). Participants will learn how to explore student outcomes by cohort year, including completion rates, persistence, transfer, and stop-out rates. The course demonstrates how to apply global filters and timeframe selections to analyze student progress two, three, four, six, or eight years after initial enrollment, helping institutions better understand long-term student achievement patterns.
Learning Outcomes:
- Understand the purpose and structure of the Outcomes: Institution-Level Dashboard.
- Apply the Outcomes by Timeframe filter to assess short- and long-term student outcomes.
- Interpret key metrics including credential completion, enrollment status, and transfer patterns.
- Disaggregate data by attendance status, GPA range, and other student characteristics.
- Identify student populations at risk for non-completion to inform institutional support strategies.
