Outcomes1. Effortlessly automate the import process of
external data. COMIS – Data On Demand – Referential Files Cal-PASS Plus
2. Rapidly construct two types (for now!) of cohorts Entry Point Course Pattern
3. Build a community of users, developers and designers

Why use Illuminous to import COMIS and Cal-PASS Plus
data?It’s simple and easy, unlike using a tape measure!

Why use Illuminous to import data into Access?
1. Very easy, requires only a few mouse clicks2. Standardization of external data.• COMIS DED• Cal-PASS Plus DED
3. Standardization begets a common language• Variable names are more descriptive• Removal of jargon from the CA IR lexicon• Standardization of data begets standardization of
past, present, future queries and reports!

Why use Illuminous to import data into Access? Cont.
4. Generates helpful materialized views for future use!• Ex1. Course Materialized View
o Reduces CB table to 1 record per cb.course_id using the most recently submitted term_id. Uses?
• Ex2. Student Demographic Materialized Viewo Reduces ST table to 1 record per
st.cccco_assigned_student_id using the most recently submitted term_id. Uses?
• What would YOU like to see?!

Why use Illuminous to import data into Access? Cont.
5. Overcomes the most infuriating deficiency of MS Access!• 2 GB data limit per MS Access Database!• Imports each table into its own database and links
to each of them.• If the individual table databases are housed on a
network directory, allows multiple users to access the data simultaneously – instant makeshift Data Warehouse for your research office!

Why use Illuminous to import data into Access? Cont.
6. Build a seamless dataset between high school data (Cal-PASS Plus), community college data (COMIS), and your local enterprise resource planner (e.g., Banner, Datatel)• SURELY THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE?!?• By replicating the Cal-PASS Plus
derived key for students in theStudent Identifier (SI) table!

Hands On!1. Download a copy of Illuminous today!• https://dl.dropbox.com/u/355799/Illuminous.accde
2. Build a cohort of your own!

All Things Cohort1. What other types of cohorts do you typically
create?• Exit Point?
o Grads and applying retroactive success metrics?• Special programs?
o ARISE, AANIPISI, etc?• Specific Sections of students
o Supplemental instruction, Learning Communities

All Things Success1. Current success metrics (not in this build. See:
YouTube) • Progression through sequence• X Credits accumulated• Certificate / Degree• Transfer (First File)
2. What would you like to see added?

Future Development1. Workflow?• Track, tag and organize projects and tasks
2. Outcomes?3. Reporting?• Longitudinal Instructor analyzer• Course analyzer
4. Popular research to replicate?
