Show Them the Data: How Publishing Course Usage Stats Can Change Faculty Support

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Show Them the Data: How Publishing Course Usage Stats Can Change Faculty Support (ID: ELI08129)
Author(s):John Fritz (University of Maryland, Baltimore County)
Origin:Presented at ELI Meetings (01/28/2008)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:

UMBC has published online reports showing by discipline and by instructor which Blackboard courses are most active. Initial feedback suggests that regularly publishing these simple but effective reports could create a "tipping point" of one-on-one and departmental pedagogical discussions that change the form and content of institutional faculty support.

Informatics and Knowledge Management for Faculty Research Data

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Informatics and Knowledge Management for Faculty Research Data (ID: ERB0502)
Author(s):Sarah M. Pritchard (Northwestern University)
Origin:Documents Contributed by ECAR, Research Bulletins (01/18/2005)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:

This research bulletin describes the results of a study conducted at the University of California, Santa Barbara, into systems and project requirements for informatics in a broad range of scientific fields (including, but not limited to, bioscience fields), along with requirements in the social sciences and humanities. Faculty were interviewed about what has led them to develop informatics systems in support of their research and what factors are at the forefront as they seek to manage large amounts of research data in a decentralized and collaborative environment. The findings, a mix of the expected and unexpected, have laid the groundwork for new proposals in faculty IT support services.
