Building an Alumni Support Community: Tracking Alumni for Program Evaluation and Added Value
Ingram, Kathleen W.; Haynes, Linda L.; Davidson-Shivers, Gayle V.; Irvin, Richard
College Student Journal, v39 n2 p203 Jun 2005
This paper is a report of the development of a systematic process for locating instructional design alumni and recruiting them to provide feedback from their workplaces. The purpose of initiating this process is related to program improvement through alumni participation. The process for tracking, contacting, and gathering data from alumni is described. The initial findings show that while the alumni of both the Masters and Ph.D. instructional design program work in a variety of disciplines, almost all of their job descriptions include activities related to instructional design practice. In addition, the respondents indicated that overall they feel successful. These findings, while context specific, may provide a model for other programs faced with information management issues related to program improvement and accreditation.
