  1. An Overview of Activity Insight TLI 2013 Janet Maschke and Brian Moore

  2. What is Activity Insight “AI”? Activity Insight is a database designed specifically for faculty to catalog professional work experience, educational background, service activities, professional development, and other accomplishments.

  3. Benefits of Activity Insight (AI) • Easy access for DU faculty via DU website • User-friendly screens • Logical input forms to organize information • Built-in reports available to faculty • Save and print capability • “Available Anywhere” as it is web-based • Secure - logins required to access a record

  4. How is DU using the information? • Faculty data from “AI” is used to populate the faculty web page on Davenport.edu • Updated vitas are easily compiled • Accreditation information on faculty may be pulled from “AI” • Reports by department and college

  5. Look at the extent to which your colleagues are using Activity Insight: In the last month, DU faculty have logged into “AI” 321 times as of 7-12-13

  6. Main Menu Categories “AI” is divided into the following categories: • General Information • contact info, biography • educational and work experiences • current position information • Teaching • Scholarship / Research • Service

  7. Main Menu Detail The following screens show a detailed list of each Main Menu component. TIP: It is helpful to review the sections before entering content so that you have a better idea of where items should be placed.

Teaching Menu Service Learning Experiential Learning Directed Student Learning Service Learning and Experiential Learning are special DU forms to collect and organize faculty teaching efforts in these areas.
