Visualizing Research, Planning, and Assessment Processes

The following research guide is an image anthology of over 600 visualizations created and/or used by ACCJC accredited colleges for employee training and to communicate research, planning, and assessment initiatives, processes, and structures to their employees, students, communities, and accreditor. The images were collected via the college's public websites throughout 2009 and together form a snapshot of the visualization techniques used by the colleges to aid in their transition to and understanding of the "new" model for higher education practice inherent within the 2002 ACCJC Standards of Accreditation. The images in this anthology are summary outcomes from the thousands of manhours invested by the original creators of these communication tools and the plans, processes, and structures they represent. They were collected to form a resource which can help us in the creation and revision of our own research, planning, assessment, and communication efforts.
