How We Can Support

We're here to assist your academic unit's project in a way that aligns with your specific needs. To demonstrate the varying degrees of support we offer, here are some examples of support that we have provided:

Consultation on Assessment Plan and Mid-Cycle Report

A department approaches us to discuss an assessment plan to use as part of their mid-cycle report and action plan. We provide consultation and support to help complete their mid-cycle report.

Support with Educational Goals data

A department has Educational Goals data and needs help to transform it into a visualization that will help them move forward. We develop a visualization to be presented to their curriculum committee.  

Educational Goals curriculum mapping

A department's Educational Goals committee wants to map its curriculum to its Educational Goals. We collaborate to design a mapping survey, administer the survey to the department faculty, and send the data back to the committee.

Formative Evaluation of a New Program

A department wants to do a formative evaluation of a new program. We collaborate to create a project plan. On behalf of the department, we interview students, staff, faculty and external stakeholders. We analyze the data, and submit a report to the department.

Department Self-Study

A department wants to do a student survey of its undergraduate and graduate students for its self-study. We collaborate to design the survey, administer the survey on the department’s behalf, analyse data, and submit a report to the department.
