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: as of 7-12-13 In the last month, DU faculty have logged into “AI” 321 times

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. 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. Main Menu Detail

9. Teaching Menu Service Learning and Experiential Learning are special DU forms to collect and organize faculty teaching efforts in these areas. More consistent input is needed in this area to make this a valuable resource for DU. After reviewing the forms, please contact Wayne Sneath if you have additional questions on content for these areas.

14. Service Menu At times it may be difficult to distinguish between the DU service areas – Department? …or College? …or University? When in doubt, use the higher-level. Just enter it! All items do not need to be completed in each form. Fill-in the primary ones—title, type, and date of activity. The more detail you enter--the more detail will appear on your vita. When you are no longer active in a Service activity, be sure to apply an End Date.
