Process Analysis

     In order to identify what needs to be evaluated, reviewed, and annually reported for continued compliance with the Learning Anytime Anywhere Partnerships Grant, a review of this proposal’s objectives and goals are restated here:

  • Provide an affordable and accessible opportunity for all high-school graduates to attend college
  • Supply local industry with skilled and trained personnel to fill key positions needed within the company
  • Attract outside businesses
  • Decrease and substantially reduce the poverty level
  • Provide a healthy economic environment for the Region

Reporting

     The purpose for an evaluation of this Project Proposal is to study and monitor how effective and successful the program’s results are.  In other words, is the project achieving its stated goals and objectives?  Is the financial investment paying off?  Therefore, answers to the following questions will be annually supplied to the Federal Agency in charge of the "Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs"—beginning with the end of the first year of operation.

ISSUES FOR ANNUAL GRANT COMPLIANCE

Representing YOUR COLLEGE CONNECTION Tech Centers

1. What is the number of students graduating from high schools in Region X this year?
2. What is the number of students enrolling in college each year through the distance learning Technology Centers (Your College Connection)? Of that number, how many were graduates from local high-schools in Region X that same year?
3. What is the class attendance record for all students for the given year?  How many average hours per week did each student spend at the Technology Center?
4. What is the average total college credit hours by the university registered students in the given year?  What ratio of full-time and part-time students?  How many courses were successfully passed (total student population), and how many courses were flunked?  How does that compare with on-campus University of Nebraska students?
5. Of all the students enrolled for college credit, how many of them dropped out during the given year?
6. Of all the students enrolled for college credit, how many graduated in the given year?  Of those, how many where awarded Associate Degrees and how many were awarded four-year degrees?
7. How many skilled jobs were filled in Region X’s industries that year?  Of all the skilled jobs open, how many were not filled?
8. How many companies closed down or relocated the given year in Region X?
9. Did the poverty level in Region X rise or fall for the year?  How much?
10. How many new companies began business operations in Region X for the given year?
 

     Experimentally, the Tech Centers will also promote data collection of willing participants.  Experimentation shall be limited to data collection of a non-personal nature only.  Some examples of such data collection would be studies seeking to quantify the study habits of young students, the interests of older learners, etc.

     Data collected from the Centers will never identify individuals and will be the property of the Federal Government and the Tech Centers’ Board of Directors. Nevertheless, valid research shall be allowed as decided by the governing board, and as finally approved by the U.S. Department of Education.  All other federal grant requirements will be complied with on a timely basis as received.
