- Here's what we've done this year:
- Here's what we are doing now?
- Whitepaper vs. FAQs
- Academic whitepaper is still desirable to some members of Steering (we would need an index)
- Separate executive summary into two sections 1) why is the app the way it is (long?); 2) Why can't we do our own noncredit app - our own way?)
- More data driven information in the whitepaper
- Executive Summary (FAQ
like) upfront have a summary of findings, more high-level, data, charts, graphics) - Talk about all the positives in CCCApply up front
- But we do need an easy to read, efficient snippets of information - user-friendly
- Waiting on Mike Q to give us direction on some points
- We need section for the big issues (noncredit)
- TIMELINE for working with the Marketing team - Mitch out for a few weeks after next week
Pending Marketing Projects
- 1. CCCApply Infographic
Draft shared 1/21/17
Next step: Content feedback from Tech Center and addition or validation of data points included in the document.
- 2. Student Focus Groups
Solicit opinions on CCCApply from dual enrollment students, student ambassadors, non-credit or life-long learners at one to two Northern California Community Colleges
Next step: Pam Cox Otto will provide a list of questions for Steering Committee to consider to inform focus group design and narrow the research question.
CAFocus is working to schedule at least one focus group in February.
Focus groups would be fast tracked to provide preliminary data for the April 12-13 CCCApply Workshop
- 3. College administrator (Admissions and Records Staff) FAQ
CAFocus will review attachment and follow up with additional questions as we develop content for this document. The FAQ should include short descriptions of the legal requirements to determine if this will meet the needs identified from the field to provide a rationale for the student information collected.
Patty, are there documents we could reference which contain summaries, interpretations, or the legal citations for the compliance requirements cited in the PowerPoint?
Also, in TTAC yesterday, Tim mentioned there has been a review of CCCApply and which questions were required by CCCCO and which weren't. Could you share that list so we can look at a visual depiction of the information?
- 4. Refreshed college-facing content for CCCApply Project Website
We will review Powerpoint and the roadmap below and propose a few ideas.
1.5 Theme / Message for Workshop
Continuous Improvement for Student Success:
Focus our General session at the Workshop on: These are the issues that have come up over the past year; 2) We hear you and we are listening; 3) Here's what we can do to address these issues in the short-term; here's what we can do to address these issues in the long-term;
Additional Items Discussed:
- 5. Ways CAFocus can support the identification best practices in UI/UX for CCCApply 3.0
- 6. Role for CAFocus during April 12-13 CCCApply Annual workshop? Pam Cox Otto keynote?
- 7. What fields within CCCApply are required for students enrolling in non-credit courses? (Will be included in info being sent by Patty)
- 8. Revisit Google Analytics date a few weeks after the March release for an early picture of student behavior
- 9. Additional visual depiction of data : if the Tech Center’s data analyst was able to provide any additional breakdown of abandonment rates or average application completion time, please feel free to share them with us and we can look at how they could be visually depicted.
Action Items:
- Patricia Donohue Set deadline for Steering and Tech Center for feedback and addition or validation of data points included in the document. (See infographic attached below.)
- Patricia Donohue Send all legal requirements for CCCApply questions to marketing team to help support whitepaper (TBD), FAQs, Best Practice & HowTo guides and set up Focus groups
