Clearinghouse Academy for Institutional Researchers
The Clearinghouse Academy for Institutional Researchers is a workshop series that teaches institutional researchers how to use StudentTracker as a data resource. Institutional researchers learn how to maximize the benefits of StudentTracker and see demonstrations of ways it can be used as a research tool. The workshop, which is free to Clearinghouse participants, uses case studies and programming code to demonstrate the real-world uses for StudentTracker.
