Understanding Course Evaluation & Survey Data in Institution Leader Insights
What is Leader Insights?
Leader Insights is a centralized dashboard designed to help campus leaders track progress, measure success, and identify areas for improvement across Watermark products.
At the institutional level, administrators and leaders can explore more than 50 essential questions spanning six Watermark solutions. Additionally, institutions that license Planning & Self-Study with the Market Landscape Data Pack add-on from Lightcast gain access to market landscape insights.
Users can access Institution Leader Insights and Program Leader Insights through the Insights Hub or Planning & Self-Study.
- For more information on all of Leader Insights, please see the article linked Understanding the Institution Leader Insights Dashboard.
- For instructions on how to access Leader Insights as either an Administrator or a top-level Lead, please see the article linked Accessing Leader Insights.
Once in the Insights area, you will see tabs across the top containing different categories of data. The areas you see will depend on which tools you have that are integrated in the Watermark Suite. You might see Institution, Continuous Improvement, Faculty, Students, and Labor Market.
Your Leader Insights Dashboard
Institutions licensing Course Evaluations & Surveys will be able to reference a widget in their Institution Leader Insights dashboard. This widget will include the response rates of course evaluation projects, and will enable the institution to highlight response rate trends by referencing the average response rate across all previous course evaluation projects that use the same main survey. Additionally, institutions can also view the difference in response rate for a previous course evaluation that used the same main survey.
Tip: Use the academic year filter to find projects for the selected academic year. Academic years must be managed by administrators within the Insights Hub or Planning & Self-Study.
The Course Evaluations response rate widget contains:
- Course Evaluations - Select the project that you want to focus on in the widget. The project name, status (In progress or Ended) with the Project start and end date will be displayed when a project has been selected. Leader insights will only display In Progress or Completed Projects that are Course Evaluations. General surveys will not be displayed.
- Overall Response Rate & Tracker - Shows respondents and no respondents from the selected project in percentage.
- Response Rate Trends - Is showing how the selected project's response rate is compared to all projects using the same survey (Matching on Main Survey ID) and how the selected project has done compared to the most recent project that uses the same survey.
Click the response rate area to drill down by Organization. You can also export the widget with full drilldown details.
