• Enable staff members to better track student engagement with programs and services.
• Provide for multi-level assessment and reporting:
  • Individual student
  • Student groups/cohorts/lists
  • Department specific
  • Across departments

Support

Swipe, created and supported through ITS, allows students to scan in to programs and services with their Iowa One Card (or HawkID if they do not have their card). Swipe interfaces with MAUI, enabling departments to connect attendance data with demographic information.

Cost

Swipe is a browser based application that is free to use. Departments are required to purchase hardware (tablets, laptops, etc.) that will be used to run Swipe, and prox card readers that allow participants to scan in to events using an Iowa One Card.

Reporting

Swipe can provide some basic dashboard information (number of events; number of attendees; duration of visit; time of departure; etc.). More robust reporting can be found in the Swipe Explore Utilization Dashboard on Campus Data. This dashboard was created to help departments answer the following questions:

• Who is utilizing the Division of Student Life programs and services?
• What student populations could DSL expand programs and services to?
• How can DSL target outreach and communication methods to reach specific student populations?
