Student Information System Study
CCIU can assist LEA's with identifying the degree to which the current Student Information System (SIS) meets the needs of the district or school. As part of this service, CCIU will conduct focus groups with up to 15 different user groups to better understand end-user concerns and their general thoughts on the SIS. In addition, CCIU will use a research quality questionnaire to gain feedback on the SIS and provide statistical feedback on the results.
If desired, CCIU can provide a comparative analysis of Student Information Systems to determine if another product would better meet the needs of the LEA.
-
Technology Audit
Are district or school stakeholders asking how your technology compares to other LEAs? Want to make sure that your LEA is implementing best practices in technology? Is the usage of technology and related resources meeting the needs of your schools? Let us help you answer these questions with a technology audit.
CCIU uses research, stakeholder interviews, document review and measurable data to evaluate the technology in a given LEA.
