AIR Connections Webinar:
Employing Geographic
Information for Analysis and Presentation in Institutional Research
Tuesday May 12, 2009
11 am PST/ 2 pm EST
Increasingly, IR data contains spatial
information that enables researchers to ask where in addition to what,
when, and why. Physical location can be one of the most important dimensions
in visualizing certain patterns, correlations, and trends – especially
in the areas of student recruiting/admissions, alumni donations, and
institutional performance.
This program will focus on the application
of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), incorporating maps and public
domain data sources (e.g. census data), in the IR function. This will
be an orientation and requires no previous GIS experience. A case study,
using an IR data set that has been geo-coded, will be used in order
to create a “real world” understanding for the practitioner.
