Mānoa Institutional Research Office (MIRO) is pleased to announce a free virtual symposium introducing a few interactive enrollment data mining and visualization tools created by the MIRO team.
Mānoa faculty and staff will learn how to access and use these data tools to better understand their student populations of interest. Colleagues outside of the Mānoa community may find these demonstrations helpful in designing their own enrollment related reports and data tools.
12:30pm – 1pm: Enrollment Web App Development and User Feedback
MIRO’s Director will share the process and logic behind developing the first MIRO web apps and the planning / adjustments needed to make it happen. Dean Krystyna Aune will share how she uses the enrollment web app at work.
1pm – 2pm: Enrollment Web App Demonstration and Introduction
MIRO staff will demonstrate a few enrollment related web apps that MIRO created. MIRO will use real-life examples to showcase how these web apps can efficiently address enrollment questions, empower Mānoa’s faculty and staff to better understand their student body, and help programs and offices use identified trends to improve planning efforts.
