We also suggest a group viewing to facilitate cross-campus conversations about using NSSE and as a convenient way to participate with your colleagues. A more detailed description, agenda, and registration information will be posted on the NSSE Web site approximately three weeks in advance of each session. All sessions will be recorded and available on the NSSE Web site at http://nsse.iub.edu/webinars/archives.cfm.

The Transparency-Accountability Puzzle: Where Does NSSE Fit? - Alex McCormick
Transparency and accountability are in the air - and the news. The Spellings Commission called for more of both, and AASCU's and NASULGC's Voluntary System of Accountability (VSA) and NAICU's University and College Accountability Network (U-CAN) have created mechanisms for colleges and universities to report a wide range of information using standard templates. In addition, both USA TODAY and US News and World Report have invited NSSE participants to share selected results. In what ways can NSSE results respond to demands for transparency and accountability? What are the arguments for and against making NSSE results public? Are there ways in which reporting institution-level summaries can divert attention from important considerations of educational quality? Join NSSE's new director for a discussion of these important questions. |
