Abstract
In this chapter, we explain new opportunities for gathering and using data in a self-organizing university (SOU). We define and describe an approach entitled emergent feedback (Bain 2007) and show how it is different from traditional notions of evaluation, performance monitoring, and acquittal on strategic plans.
