Notes and Support is a collaborative support service that AQIP  created and maintains to explain the AQIP Categories as they are used in Systems Portfolios. Notes and Support helps colleges and universities to employ the AQIP Criteria to structure and publish a Systems Portfolio that describes their organization’s quality efforts and their results. And Notes and Support also helps Systems Appraisal teams to provide colleges and universities with actionable feedback about their key processes and performance results, feedback that will accelerate and strengthen their commitment to quality. Higher educators and others not directly involved in AQIP may find the explanations and discussions here enlightening, since their overall purpose is to help both organizational leaders and reviewers identify the key drivers and indicators of exceptional performance, harnessing this knowledge to stimulate quality improvement.

 

Notes and Support represents the collaborative  efforts of hundreds of administrators, faculty, and staff serving in colleges and universities participating in AQIP as well as the efforts of those AQIP has attracted to serve as its peer reviewers. Any person interested in the application of continuous quality improvement principles to higher education is welcome to contribute to the wiki, and AQIP monitors and edits these contributions only to prevent abuse (e.g., posting irrelevant content) and inhibit the posting of clearly erroneous or misleading information. In doing so, AQIP has consciously chosen the role of “guide on the side,” letting the educators and reviewers using AQIP to apply quality principles to their work to be the “sages on the stage.”

 

As with any publication of the views, opinions, and advice of a broad-based, diverse group of higher educators, all notes presented here are not equally perceptive, valuable, or practical. Notes provide materials that AQIP has created or has reveiwed and edited, and explain the meaning of the Category items and the rules for constructing a Systems Portfolio as well as AQIP-reviewed and endorsed strategies for Portfolio creators and reviewers.

 

Support provides advice, counsel, and suggestions from anyone who wishes to provide their ideas and stratgies. Support pages are unlocked, freely editable (by those who register with pbwiki.com), and represent the contributions of a wide group of educators and reviewers who differ greatly in their understanding of continuous quality improvement, their expderience with higher education, and their wisdom in applying  quality principles to assure and advance higher education. Use the advice provided on Support pages critically and wisely.

 

AQIP regularly reviews items contributed under Support. When it concurs that the advice is sound and worth making "official," AQIP moves those items to Notes. Thus users of this wiki can be confident that explanations and counsel they find in Notes are in full accord with AQIP policies and procedures, while explanations and counsel they find in Support do not, at present, enjoy the same status, but may be extremely useful and insightful.
