Data reported in the Condition Report comes primarily from each of Iowa's 15 community colleges, transmitted each fall to the division's Management Information System (MIS). Upon receipt, division staff review the data for discrepancies and return summary reports to the colleges to confirm accuracy. After confirmation, data files are aggregated for analysis and subsequent reporting. This aggregated data is reported in the Condition Report as dashboards and summative data that provide snapshots of various community college functions, along with related narrative for the reader to gain a more in-depth understanding. In addition, figures depict basic statistics and demographic data for quick reference and to illustrate trends and changes over time. Tables with more detailed data can be found on the department's website. The 2015 Condition Report features two supplemental sections featuring information about innovative data projects underway at the division. Section 17 discusses in-state student migration through an analysis of students' reported domicile (by ZIP codes) compared to their college of attendance. This data analysis illustrates an interesting use of new interactive data sets available at: www.educateiowa.gov/adult-career-community-college/publications. Section 18 discusses the expansion of the community college credentialing landscape. It focuses on the division's partnerships with Iowa Workforce Development and CompTIA (an information technology certification organization). The intent of these partnerships is to develop standardized procedures and data-sharing protocols to streamline educational outcome analysis and reporting. Individual chapters contain references.
