VALUABLE OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE CAMPUS LIFE AND

INCREASE RETENTION. When partnering with StudentVoice, institutions can perform mobile assessment studies with little regard for schedule, software or personnel limitations, allowing administration to concentrate on core activities. Best of all, we won't break your budget - with our proprietary data collection platforms and modular pricing, your campus can conduct a variety of assessment projects while fitting within virtually any budget.

Dilemmas and SolutionsThe assessment dilemma. Assessment helps understand which programs or activities are successful and creates value determinations for resource allocation and departmental planning. Yet, building, administering and maintaining these assessment instruments are often viewed as a time-consuming process. Many times, projects central to student affairs policy will simply not get done due to the logistics and time involved, which can be detrimental to decision-making and accreditation processes.

The assessment solution. It’s hard enough to keep programs and activities functioning effectively. Departments often have other priorities. In response, StudentVoice was developed to allow student affairs departments to quickly and inexpensively build and maintain custom assessment programs that are easily integrated with everyday operations. StudentVoice helps manage the assessment process so coordinators can spend less time working to collect data and more time interpreting information and helping students.

We didn’t discover assessment – we just made it easy. StudentVoice is the new standard in assessment because it allows student affairs departments to close the loop without reinventing the wheel. We built a one-stop shop for assessment practice that allows departments to have a standard data collection and reporting platform, empowering unit staff to regularly deploy surveys and assess units while allowing chief administration and assessment professionals access to data for proper observation and supervision.

Close the LoopStudent affairs units are critical facets of campus life and student development. These units should be continually studied to realize the measurable outcomes of student affairs service and how they affect the daily lives, academic affairs and social growth of students. In this time of tougher accreditations, budgetary limitations and declining resources, assessment is critical to justify spending, reexamine underutilized programs and to determine quality of service. With a new group of students entering higher education each semester, student affairs professionals face the difficult task of continually assessing these services to determine their value and cost effectiveness. With hundreds of millions of dollars being spent each year on student facilities and services, self-study expenditures are vital to illustrate intelligent use of resources. Building a collaborative, efficient assessment framework that closes the loop and includes all departments on a standard framework is key for a successful, goal-oriented student affairs department that supports effective decision making for both long range policy and day-to-day operations.

Stay InformedCollecting the data is only half the job - it is absolutely critical that project data be quickly reported for administrators to learn, communicate and act. StudentVoice has created an on-line reporting system that provides a central location for departmental data with user-friendly analysis tools.

A tiered access structure permits head administrators to see all projects, while division leaders can access data only for each respective department. Intuitive reporting functionality and full-time access provides student affairs staff with the tools to make effective decisions in days - not months.

One SystemThe StudentVoice platform is all-inclusive: your institution will get comprehensive use of all StudentVoice resources, including periodic updates and improvements, without any additional costs. The complete StudentVoice system includes unique tools that curb burdensome manual set-up times, increase productivity, and make assessment easy and non-intrusive to regular department operations:

HANDHELD DATA COLLECTION Collect data electronically on-site, immediately after service in student affairs units and at specific events or locations. The StudentVoice proprietary SmartLoad platform allows data sets to be automatically compiled without requiring any special knowledge or training. Handheld projects use standard, off-the-shelf hardware, so adding or replacing units is easy.

WEB DATA COLLECTION Collect data from large sets of the campus population by sending email invitations to targeted student respondents or by posting questions to existing high-traffic websites where participation can be encouraged. Web surveys can be customized to stay consistent with institutional or departmental branding efforts.

ONLINE DATA REPORTING All handheld and web results are streamlined to a central online data archive that is password accessible for credentialed administrators to monitor project progress and easily share information. Data sets are instantly reported in raw counts, percentages and graphs with cross-tab capabilities and file exporting options compliant with advanced third-party analysis tools.

ASSESSMENT SUPPORT Each StudentVoice institution receives full technical support, including platform installation/set-up assistance, project entry, and hosting/access privileges. Institutions also receive access to the StudentVoice survey library, an on-line resource of standard surveys, best practices and sample questions utilized by other institutions.
