The Data Collection feature enables Institutions to design a template and associated workflow for managing various assessment, accreditation, and strategic planning activities with key stakeholders. This feature allows Institutions to streamline and automate existing workflows and processes to create efficiencies and time savings for all stakeholders. HelioCampus builds Data Collections and deploys them to training sites for testing before being deployed to production sites.
To learn about Data Collection and its benefits and for a walkthrough within the platform, check out the Data Collection video walkthrough and please contact the Customer Success Manager assigned to the Institution.

How Can Data Collection Help?
-
Allows Institutions to centrally manage complex, multistep initiatives through forms and workflows designed to help collect evidence and generate feedback from various stakeholders across campus for:
-
Annual (Academic) Assessment Planning and Reporting: Enable academic programs to answer prompts and link their institutional learning outcomes and accreditor outcomes with accompanying measures, targets and data driven decisions for continuous improvement reporting.
-
Unit (Non-Academic) Assessment Planning and Reporting: Enable units to answer prompts and link their outcomes to institutional learning outcomes and strategic plan goals with accompanying measures, targets and data driven decisions for continuous improvement reporting.
-
Continuous Improvement Data Collection for Course and Program Assessment: Designed to support reflection of assessment results and identify areas for improvement.
-
Strategic Planning: Track and manage progress toward meeting strategic planning goals and objectives.
-
What are the Benefits of Data Collection?
-
Flexible Forms and Workflows: The form and its elements are uniquely designed based on institution specific improvement processes.
-
Automate Notifications and Monitor Deadlines: Through the email notifications, reminders and setting deadlines are easily monitored and set in the platform. Institutions can customize and manage these notifications, and recipients can access these notifications through their email and/or in their assessment platform dashboard directly.
-
Collect Feedback from All of Your Stakeholders: HelioCampus works to create flexible forms and workflows aligned to an Institution’s specific processes and use cases and response fields can be marked as required if desired to ensure effective feedback.
-
Track Progress: Track the progress of workflows and see which stakeholders have completed their specific step(s).
-
Generate Reports: All Data Collections can produce a report by program or unit, and one complete report of all of the form inputs by program and unit. Reports can be run and shared with stakeholders.
