CCC | Introduction to Vision-Aligned Reporting Module

Student success is measured by data. So, it should be clear, concise and directly related to student outcomes. Vision-Aligned Reporting is a new approach for college programs to collect and report data on their activities.  

Through this new program reporting process, colleges will report only information that offers direct visibility into how their efforts impact student outcomes. This module is intended for anyone interested or involved in data and reporting. The module provides an overview of the platform and the data collected, as well as its development and implementation. 
 
Launch the Introduction to Vision-Aligned Reporting module.
