size=3>The 2009 curriculum takes a broad view of IPEDS data in order to assure
the quality of IPEDS data and to improve the skills of institutional researchers
for using these data. The 2009 curriculum is based on three themes: <SPAN
style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold">Leading (Managing) an IPEDS Cycle</SPAN>;
<SPAN style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold">Using IPEDS Data for Institutional
Effectiveness</SPAN>; and <SPAN style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold">IPEDS Data as
the Public Face of an Institution</SPAN>. One to three modules for each theme
take a holistic view of IPEDS tasks such as understanding the collection
process, leading an IPEDS cycle on campus, involving other stakeholders,
assuring that data requirements and definitions are understood, creating various
data reports, and recognizing the varied needs of data consumers for
institutional improvement. </FONT></P>
