Session Abstract: Although participation in High-Impact Practices (HIPs) has been widely advocated as an effective strategy for enhancing active learning, student persistence, and engagement, tracking actual HIP participation rates and outcomes on large campuses over multiple years can be challenging due to siloed data sources, lack of HIP information in centralized data warehouse environments, and unclear data governance and stewardship of HIP-related data. This session focuses on the development of a HIP Dashboard that represented a collaborative approach to creating an integrated data source allowing for a deeper understanding of HIP participation longitudinally, scaffolding HIPs, and the differential impacts on student success across a range of student demographics and subpopulations.

Keywords: high-impact practices, data governance, data visualization, student success analytics
