More About This Title Handbook for Institutional Effectiveness
English
How does a university know it is truly effective, and how can it prove it?
Handbook for Institutional Effectiveness gives higher education leaders a complete, practical system for answering that question. It takes readers through the whole effectiveness cycle: building the system, strategic planning, key performance indicators at course, programme and institutional level, learning outcomes assessment, institutional research, surveys and data, licensure and accreditation, recognition and credit transfer, academic integrity, and continuous improvement. A dedicated part shows how artificial intelligence is changing the way institutions plan, measure and assure quality.
Written by an accreditation director with 30 years of experience, the book combines international good practice with lessons from a wide range of national and international accreditation frameworks. Every chapter includes clear frameworks, full-colour infographics and flowcharts, worked examples, case studies and ready-to-use templates.
It is written for presidents, provosts, deans, and directors of quality assurance, institutional research and accreditation. It also works well as a text for graduate programmes in higher education leadership.
International Edition. 314 pages, A4, full colour.
