Our experience with more than 500 schools and colleges helps you get up and running quickly. When you sign on with Digital Measures, we provide you with a base system that contains the most common data, screens and reports that our clients use. By seeing what our other clients have commonly collected with their systems, you can easily discern the faculty activity data your campus needs to collect.
For example, with journal articles these items include:
- The title of the article
- The names of the authors
- Where it was/will be published
- The date it was/will be published
Starting with this base set of elements allows you to focus on adding other additional elements instead of "re-inventing the wheel." Perhaps you are interested in adding a selection so that your faculty can identify whether a journal was "Tier A", "Tier B" or "Tier C". The base set can be modified in any way you like; it serves as a "conversation starter," allowing you to easily determine what data you want to collect within Activity Insight.
How to determine what to collect...
Literally every element of your system can be customized, including all of the screens, lists and input fields. Activity Insight’s flexibility also supports the ability to modify these elements for each academic unit on your campus so that the screens and reports suit their unique specifications and needs.
Beginning at the top of your campus hierarchy, you determine the core screens and fields that need to be collected within the system for all of your faculty and staff on top of the base set of data elements. After this has been completed, you go a step down in the hierarchy and work with each of your academic units to add any required screens and fields. Individuals only see the fields that they need to fill in based on their unit. For example, specific elements such as creative activities can be collected from individuals in your School of Fine Arts while individuals in your School of Education will never see them.
