Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from board members evaluating education management software.
What kind of data can board members see in the dashboards?
Board-level dashboards show institutional KPIs including: total enrollment and enrollment trends, student retention and graduation rates, financial summaries (revenue, expenses, budget utilization), faculty-to-student ratios, academic performance distributions, admissions pipeline status, and accreditation compliance scores. Each metric includes historical trend data for year-over-year comparison.
Can board member access be limited to high-level data only?
Yes. OpenEduCat uses role-based access control, so board members see executive dashboards and summary reports without access to individual student records or operational details. You define exactly which dashboards, reports, and data levels each board member can view, ensuring appropriate governance oversight without operational interference.
What does "data sovereignty" mean in practical terms?
Data sovereignty means your institution owns and controls all its data. With OpenEduCat's open-source model, you can self-host the platform on your own servers, ensuring student and institutional data never leaves your infrastructure. Even with cloud hosting, you retain full export rights and can migrate away at any time. No vendor lock-in, no data held hostage.
How does OpenEduCat support accreditation preparation?
OpenEduCat continuously collects the data points required for accreditation, enrollment, retention, graduation rates, student outcomes, financial health, and faculty qualifications. When accreditation review comes, you generate reports from live data instead of scrambling to compile evidence. Document management organizes self-study reports, evidence portfolios, and previous review correspondence.
