Presentation Plan 1.What do we do? 2.What do we believe? 3.Who cares about us? 4.Why measure? 5.What can we count? 6.What can we sense? 7.What can we improve?

1. What do we do?

2. What do we believe? Hardware - better ‘broken’ than ‘dusty’ Physical comfort enables creativity Conversations matter Partnerships matter Embracing change is essential

3. Who cares about us? Undergraduates Program Partners Faculty – especially when course assignments are at stake Departments within the library system University administrators Donors

4. Why measure? Accountability to stakeholders Fundraising Data-driven decision-making Making case for new programs

5. What can we count? Space use –reservations, logins, head counts Patrons in Media Lab Partner Services usage Workshops – numbers, topics, attendance, requests Faculty-requested course integration

The counting tells us that... Steady Growth: –Group Space Use –Integration, demand for partner services –Workshop number, attendance, variety –Personal laptop and mobile device use Plateau / Decline: –Lab patron visits –Poster printing Not Predictable: –Late night use –Course-based training

6. What can we sense? Observing student behavior Conversations with faculty Word of mouth within and across disciplines Assignments and curricular integration Technology as “the great equalizer” Courses list

Text Analysis WIC Success Stories WIC Success Stories

Faculty Conversations on Class Video Projects

The stories tell us that... Steady Growth: –Variety of tech tools –Variety of assignments –Faculty engagement –Demand for customization –Online Training –Ownership of our success Plateau / Decline: –Video editing assignments –Long workshops Not Predictable: –Topics of interest –Discipline-specific choices

7. What can we improve? We change workshop topics frequently We accept honest feedback about class- based support We act on suggestions from Faculty and Program Partners Groups
