The U.S. is not actually dominating university rankings. Here’s why.
I’m always amazed by the amount of institutions that the United States has in the top 100, 200, 300 or 400 of World university rankings. It always has more than any other country. This amount has been decreasing in the last few years but it’s still four times as many as its closest competition. The

World Rankings and the Rise of Europe, Not Asia
One of the great things about this site is all the complimentary data we receive. One of these datasets is the 8 world rankings that we compile yearly. In the past we have played with this data to show 9 World University rankings – Side by side – part 1 and make a Historical compilation of 7 world

7,685 Colleges and Universities in the United States
As you can see below, I created a visualization using the coordinates of all 7,685 active HigherEd Institutions in the US. I started playing with all the statistics in the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) after reading Phil Hill’s articles on the new IPEDS Data. The amount of facts & figures on US HigherEd

8 World University Rankings – Side by Side 2013
As stated in the post I published 6 months ago (9 World University Rankings – Side by Side), the different world university rankings are somewhat controversial. Their methodology are often dissected to show flaws, and universities often dislike them because of the influence they have come to wield. Not one ranking has been hailed as

Alexa vs World University rankings
I was looking at Alexa’s Traffic Rank and how it allows you to compare websites. This got me thinking that evaluating a URL is a bit like evaluating an university or a college. You can compare its popularity, reference, credibility, incoming links, or measure its relative importance, influence, citations, etc. So I decided to compare

Canheit – Technology used in Canadian Institutions
As promised in my first Canheit tribute post, I have created a second vizualisation based on technology used by Canadian higher education institutions (colleges and universities). The following viz has 5 main graphs, each representing a different category. The size of each bubble represents the percentage for each system used compared the other systems in

Canadian HigherEd Institutions
Since CANHEIT 2013 is being held in Ottawa and co-hosted by Carleton University and the great University of Ottawa (that’s right, I’m biased), I decided to do a few vizualisations about our Canadian HigherEd institutions. In this first vizualisation, I’m hopping to show general characteristics about our Canadian institutions. The next ones will be more

Historical compilation of 7 world universities rankings: huge drop for US, rise for French
After reading an article from HESA where the author explains (referring to Times Higher Education’s annual Reputation Rankings) that “only the position of the top 6 or so is genuinely secure. Below about tenth position, everyone else is packed so closely together that changes in rank order are basically guaranteed”, we wanted to see how

World University rankings by Country – part 2
This is the second part of our world university rankings posts. See the first post that lists the top 100 universities (based on 9 world university rankings). Based on almost the same logic used in our first post, we took the top 300 universities and compiled the 9 world rankings. Note that, for some universities,

See part 2 of this post The different world university rankings are somewhat controversial. Their methodology are often dissected to show flaws and universities often dislike them because of the influence they have come to wield. Not one ranking has been hailed as “the” definitive ranking and this is why we have so many. If

Deconstructing LMS RFPs: The Most Popular Evaluation Criteria
Writing a request for proposals to replace your current LMS is one of the most daunting tasks for non-procurement specialists. To help you accomplish this, you may decide to browse listserv archives or again, you may ask your colleagues in other universities what they included in this type of document. As an alternative, you could

Relationships Between Institutional Characteristics, Student Personas and SIS
Student information systems (SIS) have significantly evolved since they first appeared in the 1960s, from essentially serving as the central store of student-related data to supporting activities such as class registration, grade management, and transcript generation. With this evolution has come increased demands on the SIS to support different student personas (traditional, transfer, etc.) and
