Frequency View – Viewing the statistics of one of your questions

Basic statistics definitions Number Set- 2, 2, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 7, 9 Mean- the statistical average of the responses (4.67) Median- the response that is in the middle of all responses (4) Mode- the response chosen most frequently (4) Standard Deviation- range of difference from mean (2.24) Top/Bottom- combines the percentages of respondents above and below the middle response(s). More info available on our wiki site. Standard Error Confidence 95%

Creating views – Saving your view Once you have a view of your data that you want to access at a later time, you can save it within the system. Use the “Save/Load View” section to indicate a name for the view so that you can easily access it later. You can access the “Saved Views” from the Results Toolbox or from the Project Dashboard.

Opening Views from the Project Dashboard

Exporting data and views You can create exports of either your data or the views that you have created with your filters. The data exports will include the raw data collected in the system unlike the aggregate view of data in the Reporting Site. The exported Views can be used for creating presentations or reports of focused interest.

Exporting your raw data You can export the data into three different formats: Microsoft Excel- used to basic analysis. Microsoft Text – used for re-uploading raw data into the Baseline system. SPSS – maintains coding from Baseline system.

Exported Data into a Microsoft Excel File (alternate codes)

Exported Data into a Microsoft Excel File (answer text)

Exporting views You can export the Views into three different formats: Microsoft Excel Microsoft Word Adobe Acrobat Reader (PDF)

Comparative Analysis Reports

Baseline’s Comparative Analysis Tool A comparative analysis tool is created to include projects that have a common question set in order to allow for comparisons Allows you to view data for multiple projects in the Baseline system on one screen Our system conducts t-tests to look for statistically significantly different means for answer sets with numeric values (e.g., scales) Can use filters and create specific views of the data

Example of a comparative analysis report

Examples of comparative analysis projects 1.Same project over time (different respondents) –NSSE data 2.Same project over time (same respondents) –Health and Wellness course: pre and post survey about behaviors and attitudes 3.Across projects (same and different respondents) –Workshop evaluations; same questions for each workshop, compare across workshop topics Please note that any data to be used in the comparative analysis tool needs to be in the Baseline system. As such, data uploads may first need to be completed.

Items to note: 1.Open ended text: This text is not included in comparative analysis reports. You can access this information in the individual project results. 2.Individual comparisons: If you would like to drill down to the data for an individual respondent, you would use the filter tool. However, in order to filter, the information must be actual answer choices in the projects. Therefore we would need to re- upload open-ended text (e.g., student addresses) as answer choices in order for you to be able to filter.

Next step: Setting up a comparative analysis report 1.You have already collected all of the data for which you want to set up a comparative analysis report. Same survey administered in multiple years How to proceed: Contact your assessment consultant about setting up a comparative analysis report. Let him/her know the exact titles for the projects you want to include in the comparative analysis report Administered

Next step: Setting up a comparative analysis report 2. You have collected some of the data for which you want to set up a comparative analysis report Same survey administered before and after an event, program, or learning experience How to proceed: When you request the post-assessment through Baseline, include information about wanting to set up a comparative analysis report in the “Additional Notes” section of the project request form. Please let us know the titles of the existing projects that you want to include in the comparative analysis report. Pre AssessmentPost Assessment AdministeredNot administered

Next step: Setting up a comparative analysis report 3.You have not collected any data yet, but know that you will have multiple projects for which you want to compare data across projects. Same survey to be administered before and after an event, program, or learning experience How to proceed: When you request the pre-assessment through Baseline, include information about wanting to set up a comparative analysis report in the “Additional Notes” section of the project request form.
