Indiana State University is in the process of obtaining a software solution to maintain faculty activity data. Faculty will be able to maintain the records of their professional work. Administrators will be able to use data to create reports, support accreditation, and benchmark faculty activities. 

The implementation team is comprised of Susan Powers (Academic Affairs), Sarah Edwardson (Project Manager, IT), Marsha Miller (Faculty Fellow), Stacey Bocard (IT Senior Programmer Analyst). Representatives from the Colleges will be involved in the testing and implementation. Some faculty may be asked to serve as beta testers, and various ad hoc groups may also be formed as the process continues throughout the spring.

While the promotion and tenure process will not utilize an e-portfolio system/process until the 2014-2015 academic year, the goal is to have a system will be in place such that it can be used for the first biennial review during Fall 2013 (data will be required for 2011-12 and 2012-13). The biennnial review process as approved in 2011 mandates the use of an e-portfolio, and we will try to meet that mandate. General questions about faculty e-portfolios should be sent to Marsha Miller (marsha.miller@indstate.edu).

If an e-portfolio package is not available in time, the implementation team will be responsible for creating an interim solution that meets the requirements for Annual Review as outlined in the University Handbook as well as the process which is being honed by the Faculty Senate's Faculty Affairs Committee and the Provost's Office.
