General FAQs about profile updates

• Are graduate teaching assistants and adjuncts required for accreditation to be listed?

  No. Categories of faculty that may be excluded from the official faculty roster include:

  • Graduate teaching assistants work under the supervision of a qualified member of the instructional faculty
  • Adjuncts delivering a lecture(s) in a course for which are not the official course instructor
• Courses taught section

  This section is populated automatically from your course history from Banner.

• How are the directory headings organized?

  The directory combines several heading/sections into 10 common headers as follows:

  1. Assistant dean/Director
  2. Full-time faculty
     • Includes tenured, tenure-track, lecturer
  3. Adjunct, affiliated and visiting faculty
  4. Emeritus
     • Includes only active emeritus
  5. Part-time faculty
  6. Academic advisors
  7. Staff
     • Includes student assistants
  8. Research staff
  9. Clinical staff
  10. Graduate students
      • Includes graduate teaching assistants, graduate research assistants, Ph.D. students

  Only the 10 headers above will be visibly listed in the College of Education online directory. Previous headers/sections have been merged into the parent header/section as indicated above.

  Faculty and staff are still allowed to specify their specific titles) within their individual profile (what appears below your picture and name).

• Incremental coursework and other qualifications: If you have none, should you leave them blank or put in “N/A” or none?”

  This can be left blank if you do not have any information to fill in for it. This only pertains to "instructional faculty who do not have a master's degree in the field of the course they're teaching," according to the HLC requirements.

• Is there a particular way we should list our education credentials and courses?

  Education

  Degree type, name of institution, year, e.g., Ph.D. in Educational Leadership. Wayne State University, 2015 Courses section

  Courses Section

  Course title and number, credits, term, e.g., EDA 7625 Leadership, Administration and the Principalship, four credits, F2022

• My biography and my research are currently written up as a single integrated profile. Do I need to separate those out or can I just include it all under one or the other of the categories?

  The section will have headers corresponding to the categories that will automatically show up on the web page. So, while you can, it will likely look awkward depending on how you group the information. It would be best to separate each piece of information.

• What is defined as one "academic year?"

  For the purposes of these profiles, one academic year will consist of the last two semesters.

• What's the size of the profile image?

  Your profile photo should be 800px in width and 1126px in height and an actual picture of yourself - no book covers, abstract objects, etc. The goal is for students to get to know you! The image should be a high-resolution photo, i.e., not blurry, grainy, distorted or badly cropped. Photo not meeting these standards will be flagged for removal. For help with setting up your photo, submit it to the Education website revision request form.

FAQs about usability

• After entering data for a long, the system logged me out and didn’t save. How do I stop the editor from logging out before saving?

  We’ve applied a code update to the editor that will detect when someone is entering information for an extended period of time (an hour or more) which will keep the window “active” while activity is taking place on the page. This should ensure that the page does not spontaneously reload or log out after entering in data over a long period of time before you save entries. In general, however, it is always best practice to periodically save your work by selecting Save Profile (top right corner) after updating your entries. Our next version of the system is expected to incorporate an auto-save feature on par with the latest web entry systems.

• I have a bunch of blank boxes that say “Click To Add Information” that I can’t get rid of. Will those go away on their own?

  The boxes will go away automatically if no data is entered in them. Be Sure to check for blank spaces in any typed fields as they will render as text.

• My photo is not being accepted. What size/format should it be?

  Photos must be no more than 800 pixels (px) in width and in .jpeg or jpg format. You can resize your photo using a free online too such as picresize.com.

• Some information is not saving after saving my profile. What should I do?

  We’ve identified a bug related to Internet Explorer (IE) 11 and older, which are also unsupported web browsers due to their antiquity, which is causing discrepancies with the saving function. You should update your browser to the latest version, Microsoft Edge (for windows), Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari (for MacOS) for the most optimal experience.

• How can I create or update keywords for the Faculty Experts page?

  To create or update the keywords (representing your scholarly interests and expertise) for the Faculty Experts page, submit the keywords to the Education website revision request form.

• How can I submit an external awards, honors, community and association board memberships, journal editorship, and publications?

  College of Education faculty and staff are invited to share recent news (within the last 12 months) highlighting scholarship and community engagement including:

  • External awards and honors
  • External community and association board memberships
  • Journal editorship
  • Publication of peer-reviewed journals, books, and book chapters

  News will be shared monthly at Assembly meetings, via newsletters, and on the website. This is not meant to be an inclusive list but rather a way to recognize the most recent accomplishments. The survey will remain open year-round and additional entries can be submitted at any time.
