About the Webconference

APS’s founding members share the ambition of building the nation’s authoritative source of discipline level benchmarks of instructional costs, enrollment patterns, and faculty utilization—a quantitative MRI of program performance to complement mission and quality priorities in academic planning. Last year laid groundwork for that vision, as the collaborative grew to 65+ institutions (on its way to 300), two dozen of whom have completed the months-long effort of extracting and standardizing data. As 2017 begins, we’re thrilled our foundational work will bear fruit as we begin sharing our first benchmarking insights.

In the first part of this webconference series, “Shaping Course Size,” our experts will tackle misconceptions about class sizes, reveal opportunities to increase savings, and offer data-driven approaches to course design and scheduling. In addition, you will learn how your peers are handling similar issues, and glean best practices for better course management.
