In the digital age, higher ed institutions have to deal with a new challenge – managing vast amounts of data throughout the student lifecycle. While traditional tools and platforms, such as Integrated, Ireava, and Jiiterbit, have enabled paperless on-campus data management, they generally require several integration steps and often call for high-level IT intervention before student data can be extracted or used.

Following the events of 2020 and digital acceleration worldwide, these platforms are rapidly becoming obsolete with changing variety and quantity of data. Not to mention, college departments are demanding rapid access to healthy data without barriers and improve data literacy.

AMSA Connect has introduced a revolutionary integration relationship management platform that not only eliminates the shortcomings of traditional platforms but also helps enhance data literacy. Using this solution, different college departments can easily unravel data complexities and derive meaningful insight to improve student lifecycle.

What is Data Literacy, and Its Benefits?

Data literacy in colleges refers to the ability to extract, read, comprehend, and exchange student data as information. With better data literacy, higher ed institutions can:

• Extract data from multiple sources in less time.
• Distinguish between structured and unstructured student data.
• Eliminate redundancies using operational and historic student data.
• Improve data security and agility.

How to Improve Data Literacy On Campus Using an Integration Relationship Management Platform

Generating data is easy, but extracting healthy data from raw data and making sure it’s actionable and useful is not. Here, an integration relationship management platform gives you broader access to healthy, deduplicated, and consistent data across every department. This way, users only extract and manipulate authentic and relevant information without IT intervention or assistance.

Here are three other ways it can improve data literacy on campus:

1. Tech-Savvy College Culture

With a powerful on-campus management platform, you can improve data literacy by shifting from a command-and-control culture. As departments become more tech-savvy and data literate, they can make data-driven decisions without approval from management, thus saving time.

2. Centralize Data Access and Internal Communication

With centralized data access, every personnel on-campus will have the same data at all times, regardless of changes. Plus, with a social media-like feed, teams can communicate internally about different processes and updates in real-time.

3. Better Data Governance

An important aspect of data literacy is data governance. With an integration relationship management platform, users can understand the data quality of the data and dig down to its source. Not to mention, with more transparent data, everyone will be more comfortable processing and managing it.

Bottom Line

With the educational industry rapidly evolving and transitioning online, your on-campus departments must be able to process and manage complex data. AMSA Connect is a game-changing platform that can optimize every aspect of your data collection and improve data literacy on campus.
