Faculty Insight vs PU Faculty Reporting Tool

The Faculty Insight database is NOT a faculty reporting tool (e.g., Digital Measures)

FI contains only research impact measures – not teaching, service, engagement, or other aspects of faculty effort

BUT the AcA database can be used to initially populate individual research measures into our faculty reporting tool, when units are first setting it up

We are currently searching for a new campus-wide faculty reporting tool (at the RFP stage), stay tuned to this

Access limited to colleges

Academic Analytics in AY 2019-20

Goals? • get familiar with key features of AcA,

share experience and expertise • identify an opportunity in faculty

development, collaboration, or awards

PURDUE UNIVERSITY

Academic Analytics: best practices at PU

General principles of use:

• We will use the AcA data and analytics as an aid to faculty development, identifying opportunities, unit self-studies and planning

• We will not use AcA data and analytics alone to make any decision

• Faculty will be able to check their own data and add to the FI database

The Review Group will discuss and refine these over time

Academic Analytics dos and don’ts? Examples of use: How we will not use:

PURDUE UNIVERSITY

Programmatic • Prepare unit review self-study docs • Strategic academic planning • Examine career trajectories and faculty

appointments of our graduates • Budget discussions • Predict impact of retirements and hiring

Programmatic • Will not use AcA data as the sole source of

information in unit reviews, but as one of many sources

• Recognize the disciplines in which AcA data are incomplete, and employ with caution there (e.g., the arts)

Peers Peers and rankings • Identify current and aspirational peers • Will not compare different disciplines within • Compare programs and disciplines at Purdue Purdue to each other

to their larger fields • Will not generate detailed quantitative rankings vs other institutions

Opportunities • Identify relevant grant opportunities • Identify potential collaborations, centers or

institutes through research themes and existing networks

• Faculty development Faculty development • Identify nominees for external awards and • Will not use the data to evaluate individual

honors faculty • Identify faculty who may need mentoring or • AcA is not a C.v. replication database
