TEF data dashboard

1. Ensure the ‘Experience’ tab is selected.
2. Use the tabs in the second row to choose between four views:
   1. Overview tab: shows the summary of student experience measures broken down by mode of study for the selected provider.
   2. Split overview tab: shows an overview of the performance for all the splits at a provider. Each split represents a group of students, such as female students or students on first degree courses. If the performance for a group of students is much worse at this provider than for similar students across the sector, that split will be counted in the ‘Materially below benchmark’ column.
      • Use the +/- icons to collapse and expand the student experience measure rows.
        • Drill up collapses the data rows but does not show an aggregated figure.
        • If a row has no data for a particular selection or cohort it will be blank when expanded.
      • You can see which splits are in each category by clicking on the cell, and then clicking the highlighted button labelled ‘3) Press for more detail’. This will take you to the ‘Detailed view’ tab, where detailed data can be found for each split within that performance group for the selected experience measure and mode of study.
        • Once on the Detailed view tab, you can reset the view (removing the selection of measure, split indicator, split and mode of study) and continue searching on the Detailed view tab, or return to the Split overview tab by clicking the ‘Return to previous view’ button.
   3. Detailed view tab: this shows detailed information on split indicators (student or course characteristics) for each student experience measure and mode of study.
      • Within the Select splits area:
        • Use the ‘Measure’ dropdown box to select a student experience measure or select All.
        • Use the ‘Split type’ dropdown box to choose a category, such as ‘Age group’ or ‘Level of study’, or select All.
        • Use the ‘Split’ dropdown box to select an individual split, such as ‘Under 21’, or All.
        • Use the ‘Mode’ dropdown box to select the mode of study.
      • Choosing the ‘View as shaded bars’ button:
        • You can choose to view the data as shaded bars
        • This view shows the difference between the indicator and the associated benchmark.
        • These shaded bars represent the confidence we have that a provider’s true performance falls within a range. It uses statistical uncertainty, from 75 per cent confidence to 99.7 per cent.
      • By choosing the ‘Return to previous view’ button you can return to the page you visited last.
      • If you arrived at this page using the Split overview page, you can reset the view, removing the selection of measure, split indicator, split and mode of study, by clicking the ‘Reset view’ button.
   4. B3 thresholds tab: this does not show any data for the Student Experience aspect. To see data on this page select the Student Outcomes aspect at the top of the screen.

1. Ensure the ‘Outcomes’ tab is selected.
2. Use the tabs in the second row to choose between four views:
   1. Overview tab: shows the summary of student outcomes measures broken down by mode of study for the selected provider.
   2. Split overview tab: shows an overview of the performance for all the splits at a provider. Each split represents a group of students, such as female students or students on first degree courses. If the performance for a group of students is much worse at this provider than for similar students across the sector, that split will be counted in the ‘Materially below benchmark’ column.
      • Use the +/- icons to collapse and expand the student outcome measure rows.
        • Drill up collapses the data rows but does not show an aggregated figure.

   3. Detailed view tab: this shows detailed information on split indicators (student or course characteristics) for each student outcomes measure and mode of study.
      • Within the filters pane:
        • Use the ‘Measure’ dropdown box to select a student outcomes measure or select All.
        • Use the ‘Split type’ dropdown box to choose a category, such as ‘Age group’ or ‘Level of study’, or select All.
        • Use the ‘Split’ dropdown box to select an individual split, such as ‘Under 21’, or All.
        • Use the ‘Mode’ dropdown box to select the mode of study.
      • Choosing the ‘View as shaded bars’ button:

        • This view shows the difference between the indicator and the associated benchmark.
        • These shaded bars represent the confidence we have that a provider’s true performance falls within a range using statistical uncertainty, from 75 per cent confidence to 99.7 per cent.
      • You can reset the view, removing the selection of measure, split indicator, split and mode of study, by clicking the ‘Reset view’ button.
      • By choosing the ‘Return to previous view’ button you can return to the view you visited last.
   4. B3 thresholds tab: this shows performance for the selected provider against OfS student outcome thresholds, split by measure, mode of study, level of study and split indicator.
      • Clicking the ‘Switch to benchmark view’ button displays benchmark information for the selected provider, split by measure, mode of study, level of study and split indicator.
      • To return to the baseline view, press the ‘Switch to baseline view’ button.

We are planning to make updates to this dashboard to add new functionality and in response to user feedback. Changes we plan to make include:

• adding in a page with 'shaded bars' as in the previous TEF and student outcomes dashboards
• adding response rates and contribution to benchmark
• adding 'interim study' data to supplement the progression measure.

If you have any feedback on the dashboard, please complete the survey.
