This presentation aims to enlighten Institutional Research professionals in higher education about the transformative potential of the R programming language (specifically using the free/open-source IDE, RStudio Desktop).I will demonstrate how R can be leveraged to enhance and streamline typical institutional research responsibilities.The session will begin with an introduction to R, highlighting its powerful data manipulation, statistical analysis, and visualization capabilities. It will then delve into specific use-cases within the realm of institutional research, such as exploratory data analysis, reporting, and survey data analysis. Participants will gain insights into how R can automate repetitive tasks, handle large datasets with ease, and produce compelling data visualizations. The webinar will also showcase how R’s extensive package ecosystem can be utilized to perform complex analyses with minimal coding. By the end of the webinar, participants will have a clearer understanding of how R can lead to more efficient processes and richer insights. Attendees will be equipped with the knowledge and resources to start or enhance their journey with R in their respective institutions.

Change is pervasive in higher education and can be experienced in myriad ways. Depending on how a change is managed, a great idea can fall flat in implementation and a sub-standard one can take off like wildfire with the right marketing and resources. In this workshop, we’ll explore strategic change management practices to help us foster successful adaptation and transformation within our organizations. We will explore common reactions to change, the process of advancing through the stages of resisting, accepting, and embracing change, and the role of organizational culture in change management. Participants will review strategies for bolstering executive support, designing changes with end-user adoption in mind, identifying stakeholders, ensuring comprehensive communications, responding to resistance, implementing change, and measuring success. This workshop is appropriate for all audiences, and resources shared may be applied to myriad change efforts, from managing changes to IR data and projects, to leading organizational change efforts.

This webinar is for all audiences
