GENERAL INFORMATION What is the most effective and efficient way to collect, represent and interpret a rich array of data for educational decision-making? Surveys! The NICI Surveys provide you with what you need to turn data into information to improve education. |

Surveys provide flexible ways for collecting and reporting both
qualitative and quantitative data. Results of surveys can be linked to
catalogs of information constructed with the Portal tools, creating a
responsive dissemination system! Learner and group profiles can pull
relevant and timely information from the Portals and present them to the
people who need the targeted information. Surveys provide you with unlimited possibilities for looking across and within groups for patterns of achievement, performance, opinion, and knowledge, so you can make better decisions about improvement. You'll come to think of Surveys more generally as "data collection instruments" that are applicable in assessment, observation, polling, and research. NICI can help you and your organization plan for and use a wide variety of data for both improvement and accountability. Many survey needs can be met within the Portfolio tool set, for no additional charge. But for large scale and robust data collection and reporting programs, costs vary widely depending upon the needs and support structures already in place. What could be better than FREE access to special collections of resources needed for educational improvement? The NICI Portals are a great addition to the Library, like reading rooms and wings, with a focus on the themes and issues of education. As Portals, each special collection is a window to the world's resources, using state-of-the-art semantic web technology to find and organize things as you use them! |
