This grant supports one activity: The design and implementation of an integrated database and robust analytical engine.

Through the implementation of this database and analysis tools, we expect to be able to demonstrate: (1) Increased enrollment, (2) Improved retention and (3) High-confidence university decision making though the ongoing collection and analysis of assessment data.

This project merges our well-developed assessment vision with state-of-the-art technological solutions. The anticipated result is a significant paradigm shift away from thinking about assessment as a periodic, isolated event precipitated by impending accreditation visits, to a comprehensive, ongoing data collection, analysis, and information tool that will revolutionize the way that Winona State operationalizes assessment and facilities student success.
