MOREHEAD — Morehead State University’s Dr. Scott Wymer, assistant professor of computer information systems, and Dr. L.K. Williams, professor of accounting, have commercialized two Web-based computer software products designed to track faculty and student activities.
Faculty180, a faculty activity reporting system, was the company’s first product. The system has been used by MSU’s College of Business during the past six years and was released commercially last fall.
The system was designed to help academic institutions manage faculty resources by tracking teaching, research and service activities and providing reports for internal decision makers, accrediting bodies and/or external users. Reports include faculty vitae and tenure or promotion reports.
“We have used Faculty180 in the College of Business at Morehead State University since 2002,” Dr. Robert Albert, dean of the college, said. “The database has been a huge success for the college. Faculty members like Faculty180 because they can quickly and easily input their credentials, teaching, research and service activities once and the use the information for creating their annual reports.”
“Faculty180 has helped us be better managers of faculty resources within the college by being able to monitor faculty sufficiency, qualifications and usage on an ongoing process,” continued Dr. Albert. “In addition, Faculty180 received praise from our accrediting body as both a management tool and as an efficient and effective means to produce accreditation reports.”
The company released its second product, Student180, this summer. Student180 allows students to create resumes, portfolios, cocurricular transcripts, service learning reports, civic engagement reports and other activity reports.
The system allows students to input all of their activities in one place, thus benefiting the entire academic institution.
