A Partnership Pathway: Developing a Process, a Structure, and an Evaluation Tool for the Digital Communication Technology Partnership
Timothy C. Day
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Wilmington University (Delaware)
The mere existence of an articulation agreement does not constitute success for any stakeholders; success should be determined through evaluation (Payne et al., 2021). Wilmington University, a private, non-sectarian university with an enrollment of more than 20,000 students located in Wilmington, Delaware, utilizes multiple types of articulation agreements to establish academic partnerships. In 2021, Wilmington University and the Delaware Department of Education established the Digital Communication Technology MOU, which allows students who have completed the Digital Communication Technology Pathway in a Delaware high school the ability to articulate 18 college credits into Wilmington University. Due to a number of factors, Wilmington University has a limited ability to evaluate the Digital Communication Technology (DCT) Partnership. The purpose of this study was to create an evaluation tool that Wilmington University personnel can use to monitor and gauge the areas of success and needed improvements for the DCT Partnership. Qualitative research was conducted with identified stakeholders throughout Academic Affairs, Academic Partnerships, and the Recruiting Department within Wilmington University to inform the development of the DCT Evaluation Tool. Griggs' (2020) Conceptual Framework for Educational Partnerships which focuses on three areas of importance when evaluating educational partnerships - cooperation, coordination, and collaboration - was also utilized to inform the structure of the DCT evaluation tool and measure the current status of the DCT Partnership. Results indicate the DCT Partnership is operating in the cooperation phase of partnerships. The results show evaluation is one of many issues placing the DCT Partnership at risk. It is recommended Wilmington University implement a process, structure, and evaluation tool for the DCT Partnership. This EPP can be used as an implementation guide for Wilmington University stakeholders to optimize, monitor, and evaluate the DCT Partnership.
