Chief exec of HESA
Exploring the HE Information Landscape. We don't know a lot about it.
Only discovered last year that there are over 500 demands for data made by over 90 organisations to our institutions.
HESA data collected in July after a student has arrived, and released to us in following January, 15 months later.
Liken HESA to a dinosaur, becoming extinct?
So, has to change.
HEDIIP, information landscape project.
Introducing unique learner number. Will enable us to track students and link data.
About to report, and will produce a blueprint for a different information landscape.
In the centre, HESA transformed.
HESA must change its approach to the collection of HE data.
HESA cached.
Aim is to:
Enable timely data collection and reporting
Reduce the burden on data providers
Drive improved value for money
Deliver data that is fit for purpose
Support changes to data governance
Developing a business case at the moment.
Website for cached programme coming up.
Value of information, why do we have it and why are we collecting it?
University guides, helping students choose
League tables
Supporting students choice, KIS is open data.
Sector is changing, collecting data from a wider range of stakeholders.
Dramatic increase in requests for data.
Mainly market research data.
HESA now publish subject benchmarking reports to explore students, qualification outcome, employment. Can be used to look at your portfolio.
Can be used to look at strategic issues.
Interesting pic about proportion of women in education, women are pink, obviously
Or look at trends in education. Showed a slide showing that Computer science is the only science subject where number of graduates has declined in last 10 years.
Trying to make the data more accessible. There is a HESA app.
And building a next generation HEIDI, working with JISC, enabling us to build dashboards etc. Will be a licence to use it with tableau.
In conclusion, HESA has to change, but so do we. We will have to work together to take this forward
