Institutional Research

Flexible data collection for institutional research

College and university administrators rely on their institutional research departments to serve as the data repositories for numerous projects. The information gathered can range from course evaluations to demographic statistics to research projects, from both internal and external sources. Many projects require assessment and survey data from students, faculty, staff, and alumni. Assembling and tracking large amounts of critical information can be a tedious and time-consuming task.

Pearson Assessments offers institutional research departments a host of solutions for the design, collection, and analysis of information. By offering multiple delivery methods (e.g., fax, paper, Internet, e-mail) for surveys and assessments, Pearson Assessments offers institutional research departments maximum flexibility in how they collect data.

The solutions provided are based solely upon the requirements and resources each project necessitates. Pearson Assessments offers the hardware, software, and services that allow each department to handle their own data collection using our OMR OpScan® scanners and software, survey software, and testing software. Our offerings are scalable depending on the volume of information, as well as the method of deployment (e.g., paper, electronic) and the type of data analysis needed. Data collected can be exported into most statistical analysis software packages for further analysis.

Many institutional research departments have had to cut back on resources and have limited personnel to handle large-scale data collection projects. For these departments, Pearson Assessments also offers a full outsourcing solution to handle all or part of the project.

Pearson Assessments has more than 40 years of experience in the data collection business. You can count on the reliability and accuracy of our data collection offerings, and our expertise in working with postsecondary institutions.
