Shaping ChangeWith open education data…
Our opportunities for improvement are immense, and data provide a powerful lens to understand how we are doing internally and relative to our peers. This applies across all segments of what we do, from teaching and learning to administrative support. Performance metrics and dashboards are the beginning, but using data to understand deeper correlations and causality so we can shape change will be critical as we strive to advance our effectiveness.
David Lassner, Interim president and former chief information officer at the University of Hawaii

Open Education Data: QsSome things to think about…
● Government open data reflects actual public policy – what is available is variable
● What data should be collected within education institutions or for assessment?
● How do we evaluate this data? i.e. What makes a good student/citizen? What makes a good school?
● Can open data open up the debate to a wider audience?● Can open data lead to policy change and better
education systems? Worldwide?
