Workflow: faculty web profiles

The faculty web profile content will continue to be powered by Digital Measures software. Digital Measures is a web-based interface that stores faculty activities for use in a variety of ways. Faculty can easily generate CVs and Professional Activity Reports (among others), while administration can use the information for submitting public information to U.S. News and World Reports and other ranking entities. For the web site, the data is used to display the education, publications, presentations, creative works, and awards & honors on individual faculty pages.

All faculty in the school have Digital Measures accounts created for them upon their hire. The office of Communications and Advancement has student staff who will enter activities into the database on the behalf of faculty.

The web profile workflow process was piloted and refined with C&I.
