NISO Training Series - Assessment Practices and Metrics for the 21st Century - November 9, 2018 - Session Four - Formulating, Interpretation and Presentation of Data

This segment of our assessment training series will engage registrants in thinking creatively about what data might be used and applied to the areas of investigation. Beyond simple counts, what might be interesting statistical techniques in considering the data. How to identify and describe a correlation as apart from causation? What represents a reliable benchmark? What metrics should be a part of determining the benchmark? How best to approach those resistant to such metrics as reliable indicators?
