I would like to be able to pull distance education numbers for terms through Data Slicer. This seems to be accessible information for IPEDS, but I would like to be able to manipulate this for other reports.
Ideally, we could pull students who are enrolled in "any" distance education and then also pull numbers for students enrolled in "all" distance education.
Yesyesyes pleasepleaseplease. We're currently using a workaround involving complex Excel formulas, temporary custom tags, and a custom term student field to mimic this functionality, but a built-in feature would be much preferable and extremely helpful.
Oh my gosh, yes! Like Clay mentioned, we get asked seemingly easy questions in annual reports:
How many students took Distance Ed classes?
How many students took only Distance Ed classes?
How many students took some, but not all, Distance Ed classes?
[TRACS asks "How many students are enrolled in one or more Distance Education classes? (unique headcount)" and also "How many students are enrolled exclusively in Distance Education courses? (included in the number above)"]
These turn out to be quite tricky to figure out. And like Clay, I have had to resort to tagging students from one menu and then filtering/exporting them using the tag from Data Slicer, and using Excel data functions to further get to the answer to that seemingly-easy question.
