Data and Decisions Academy
The Data and Decisions Academy is a series of online, self-paced courses designed for busy community college institutional research (IR) professionals in the US.
During Fall 2009, the Academy piloted three initial courses: Foundational Statistics for Decision Support, Foundations of Data Management, and Designing IR Research. Survey Design, Learning Outcomes, and Longitudinal Tracking for IR debuted Fall 2010. Future Academy plans include intermediate and advanced training, as well as courses for other segments of the IR community.
The courses are accessible without travel or special software, and are designed for busy employees who need on-the-job and on-the-go training. Through a unique learning portal, Academy participants will acquire the knowledge and skills to perform a critical IR function in about 10 hours of study and exercises. With an investment of approximately 25 hours, participants can complete the entire course and obtain a broader knowledge base of IR competencies.
AIR also offer a range of face-to-face training in what are called “Institutes”.
