A thread in the ASSESS listserv recently turned to questioning the value of collecting comparable data from comparable institutions.
For me, the biggest reason for caution about comparisons may be 'Bowen's Law' (also known as the revenue theory of costs).

Back in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, I thought technology use powerful tools for active learning, faculty-student contact, student collaboration (and the rest of Chickering and Gamson's seven principles) to leverage a transformation in how students learned. The dimensions of revolution wouldn't stop at seven, of course. For example, words would be joined by images, numbers, and video as media by

Why Invest in Info Tech in Higher Ed? 1994!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING 2009!
This week, we're discussing a program's foundational technologies for teaching and learning: learning management systems, suites of productivity software, and basic, semi-specialized tools that are widely used such as mathematics software and online databases. Monday's post described a traditional strategy: upgrade these utilities periodically, in order to keep up with, or pass, one's
M. Improve infrastructure conservatively, cumulatively
I once would have agreed that the big job for any chief technology officer is to assess the adequacy of major systems: the foundation on which the faculty teach and the students learn. If it's possible to do the job better now, replace the old systems. If there are important things that people can't yet do, provide new technology to help them do those things. Obviously, if you're going to make
13. Make great leaps forward in technology infrastructure (??)
On Monday, I talked about my belief, as a novice evaluator and educator, that evaluation (and teaching) should be organized around programmatic goals: describe every student should learn, study each student's progress toward those goals, and study the program activities that are most crucial (and perhaps most risky) for producing those outcomes.
After some years of experience, however, first at
Evaluation Methods: Each user is unique. Assess each one first, then look for patterns
It's Monday so let's talk about another one of those things I no longer (quite) believe about evaluation of educational uses of technology. Definition: “Evaluation” for me is intentional, formal gathering of information about a program in order to make better decisions about that program.
In 1975, I was the institutional evaluator at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. I'd offer
12. To evaluate ed tech, set learning goals & assess student progress toward them (OK but what does this approach miss?)
Earlier, I described some old beliefs about program evaluation. I used to assume that evaluation of TLT had to be summative ("What did this program accomplish? Does that evidence indicate this program should be expanded and replicated? continued? or canceled?"). The most important data would measure program results (outcomes). You've got to wait years to achieve results (e.g., graduating
K. Evaluation should be mainly formative and should begin immediately.
For the next couple weeks, I'll be writing about evaluation of eLearning, information literacy programs, high tech classrooms, and other educational uses of technology.
Actually, I've been commenting on evaluation in many of the prior posts, so let's begin with a restatement of suggestions I've made over the last 2 months in this blog series:Focus on what people are actually doing with help

“It just struck me the other day...Life is adversity. That is the meaning of life. We crave adversity. We need to get into trouble and stay in trouble...Teachers who retire go back to teaching because they need to be in trouble again." - Garrison Keillor, “News from Lake Wobegon,” Feb 25, 2008
On Monday, I summarized my former belief that TLT units should teach faculty two things about
J. Support: Teach Faculty to Solve Problems
Interesting post by Phil Long (University of Queensland, TLT Group Senior Consultant, and formerly Senior Strategist at MIT) about how to think about improving teaching and learning (with technology).
I think Phil, Steve Gilbert, and I each have slightly different views about how to proactively improve teaching and learning with technology (TLT) in an academic program. Dramatizing our
Improving Teaching and Learning with Technology-Conflicting(?) Schools of Thought
You can't understand teaching if you ignore learning. And you can't understand either unless you pay attention to the facilities, resources, and tools used to accomplish them: classrooms and computers, libraries and the web, and other such 'technologies.' At one time staff could ignore classrooms, textbooks, and other traditional technologies because the choices were few, and universally familiar
10. TLT support: Why and How
Earlier this week I described my mistaken belief that one should pay most attention to the newest ideas, especially if you can create your own idea or phrase, or at least your own wrinkle, and then claim the credit for being first.
The folly of that belief was pounded home for me in 1996. That was the year that Arthur Chickering suggested that we write an article on how to use technology to

Extending impact beyond the event.
An "Open House" can extend faculty sharing beyond the location and schedule of the event itself. What could be done DURING and AFTER the event to enable and encourage MORE faculty members to take advantage of the options offered in that event to improve teaching and learning with technology? To try some of those improvements more than once?
Group Nanovation = Open House?
Monday posts in this series describe things I no longer believe, things that relate to making major improvements in teaching and learning by taking advantage of technology. Here's a big one.
"Our program is unique. And, so far as we know, no one else is yet doing what we propose to do." So far as I know, I am the inventor of that phrase. I coined it in 1977, while writing a grant proposal. Our
9. We are unique. Avoid 'not invented here.' (NOT)
This "Ten Things" series of posts is discussing some counter-intuitive ideas about how technology can enable major, long term improvement in academic programs: improvements in what is learned, who learns, and how they learn.
Such deep programmatic improvements are more likely to develop when most faculty feel that a change is important enough to warrant patient, persistent effort over a period
