Virtual Workshop: April 22, 1–3 p.m. ET

Pricing: FREE ($0 members/$0 nonmembers)

The Postsecondary Data Partnership (PDP) and the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) are both important reporting systems in higher education, each serving unique purposes. While both collect valuable data on student success, their focuses differ fundamentally. The PDP is a student-centered system, whereas IPEDS is institution centered. Because some student success metrics overlap between these systems, it’s natural to assume their values will align, but often they do not. This workshop explores the reasons behind these differences and provides guidance on when to use each system effectively. 

As a result of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Compare and contrast select PDP and IPEDS metrics highlighting similarities and differences.
• Articulate, in accessible terms, why PDP and IPEDS metrics give different results to the same student success metrics.
• Evaluate when to use the PDP versus IPEDS, based on specific institutional needs and reporting contexts. 

Notes:

• Registration closes April 17 or when capacity is reached. Space is limited.
• You will receive the Zoom link the day before the workshop. 
• The workshop will be interactive, including the use of hands-on exercises and discussion.
