• How are colleges currently using the data warehouse?

• Erik Cooper spoke of use cases including feedback on STEM subgroups where the DW was able to help answer questions not available by other data products on their own; and using data sources in the DW including COCI and C-ID. Erik also spoke of utilizing Canvas data within the DW while at Sierra College. Erik also spoke to helping set up Chancellor’s Office staff outside of Research with access to the DW to access COCI data.

• A member spoke of access to non-credit data in the DW which is limited elsewhere. 

• A question as asked about whether the DW would be replacing other tools, Erik made clear that it will not. Todd Hoig agreed and mentioned the possibility that data in the Data Lake can be leveraged to make existing tools more powerful, such as building new reports in Datamart that bridge other data sources like COCI or CID

• Other members spoke of using COCI data in the DW, and trying to get Canvas data set up though were blocked at the District level. Mark mentioned that the CCC Tech Center is working on support for Canvas Data 2 which will bring in a richer data set to the DW once enabled.
