Momentum: News From Nuventive

 July 2009

Looking Forward to 2010...

The 2009 Nuventive Users Conference is behind us.  The conference was an exciting one.  There was a high level of energy, excellent presentations and great opportunities for networking.  Despite the economy and travel restrictions for a number of institutions we had a good turnout for the conference.  Pittsburgh cooperated in supporting a successful conference in a big way -- we had excellent weather, many came early and enjoyed the Pittsburgh Arts Festival over the weekend leading up to the conference, the Pirates won their Sunday game and there was even a Stanley Cup victory parade through downtown Pittsburgh near the conference hotel!  

Thanks to all of our workshop and session presenters.  Thanks also to Expedient Communications for their support of our conference and to Microsoft for their ongoing support. Special thanks to our fabulous customers and hard working staff without whom our conference would not be possible.

I hope you can join us for the 2010 conference.  We are tentatively planning for June 14 and 15 so "save the date".

David Raney, CEO

TracDat & NCAA Certification at Ole Miss


The University of Mississippi is now using TracDat to maintain records for the Division I NCAA Certification process.  The certification requires plans for improvement that share many features with the assessment process.  By adding a new type of assessment unit and providing custom labels, the athletics program was able to start developing and recording progress for the plans for improvement in TracDat.  These plans for improvement are organized by operating principles (assessment unit) and have measureable goals (outcomes), steps to achieve each goal (means of assessment), results, related documents, and implementation status (result status).  For more information contact Kate Kellum, Associate Director, Institutional Research & Assessment/Assistant Professor of Psychology (kkellum@olemiss.edu)
