meetings and online surveys. The college is using QDP software to conduct online student
satisfaction surveys and is a participant in a national user group with other colleges to develop
the software to tie in with the Education Scotland quality indicators. This will enable the college
to extract responses from questionnaires for specific national indicators, thereby enhancing our
intelligence.
75. Following the creation of a single MIS system for the college in 2014-15, the Performance and
Planning team is working with MIS to enhance the current suite of management reports. These
reports, supported by data analysis, will ensure that consistent, reliable and relevant
information on recruitment, enrolment, retention, attendance and student outcomes is available
to staff. This will help to facilitate early interventions to support students and enable them to
achieve successful outcomes on their courses.
76. The MIS and Performance and Planning teams have worked with Qlikview in 2015 to develop
the software and ensure accuracy of data representation. A programme of staff development is
being planned between June and August 2015 to enable full roll-out of the software for 201516. This will be available to key staff within the organisation to ensure they have real-time
access to key college data relating to learning and teaching.
