Student and Guidance Counselor Feedback on the College Navigator Website
MacAllum, Keith; Glover, Denise
National Postsecondary Education Cooperative
College Navigator was developed by NCES and released in September 2007 as the U.S. Department of Education's primary source for comparing postsecondary institutions that participate in federal student financial aid programs. The site is designed to help students, parents, and high school guidance counselors search for and compare information on different postsecondary institutions as one of the first steps in the college search process. In 2008, the Higher Education Opportunity Act detailed several new data requirements to be included on College Navigator. Given the large amount of information now available on the site, NPEC is interested is providing suggestions and feedback to NCES on how it might improve the presentation of the data on the website to enhance its usability. This paper summarizes feedback received from students and high school guidance counselors through focus groups.
