Elevate Data Literacy to Achieve Data-Informed Decision-Making in Higher Education
This tool is designed to help Academic Performance Solutions (APS) users, such as deans and department chairs, understand and build foundational skills for strong data literacy.
As the higher education landscape is continuously evolving, the necessity and importance of using data to make more informed decisions regarding resource allocation, student progress, and course management is more pressing than ever before. However, access to data alone does not create data experts overnight. Data literacy is the cornerstone for successfully building data-informed cultures. Without strong data literacy, users are insufficiently armed with the necessary tools to use, interpret, and act on data.
Through partner conversations and research conducted across the last decade by EAB, the Academic Performance Solutions team has identified six skills essential to being a data-literate individual in higher education.
