For Faculty

Faculty Needs

As a faculty member, many online solutions claim to help you with your day-to-day tasks, but often fail to truly understand your needs. As a result, they fall short in offering a solution that you can use. In designing a tool suite that addresses faculty concerns, LiveText enlisted the feedback of over 10,000 professors and 20 distinguished faculty members from institutions nationwide in the development and testing of our tool suite. The end result is a flexible solution that has been designed from the ground up to thoroughly address your needs and simplify the management of sharing and assessing your knowledge, while still providing you the ability to contribute to your institution's accreditation and continuous improvement goals.

Your Courses, Organized Your Way

LiveText's online tools allow you to oversee all of your courses from a sleek, easy-to-use interface. View, organize, sort, and generate reports on your student data the way you want. Furthermore, you can enjoy the flexibility of pulling additional data from various sources to run reports on cohorts and large/small groups of students, faculty, and instructors so that comparisons, trends, and program effectiveness can be verified.

Flexible Scoring

Sometimes a particular project or assignment calls for a particular scoring method. With LiveText, you have the flexibility to view, integrate, and utilize a variety of scoring types, like analytic or holistic rubrics, percentage, or scoring guides. Not only can custom rubrics/scoring guides be created and applied within LiveText, but data from outside sources can also be seamlessly integrated into your LiveText environment, creating an easily accessible and dependable digital record repository.

Versatile Reporting

Dependable, solid reporting is only as good as the underlying data. LiveText's advanced reporting features allow you to "drill down" and obtain a more granular perspective of your reporting metrics, all the way down to the student level. In addition, reports based on standards, outcomes, or competencies can be easily generated, informing you on which students have successfully met which requirements.

Outcome Alignment Tool

Not only can standards, outcomes, or competencies reporting be accomplished with little difficulty in LiveText, but so can cross-correlated reporting. LiveText's outcome alignment tool allows you to seamlessly align all of your departmental, program, and institutional standards, outcomes, and competencies in one easy-to-use environment. After this connection is established, only one standard, outcome, or competency needs to be selected, and a report against all cross-correlated standards, outcomes, or competencies is created in minutes. Also, as standards, outcomes, and competencies change over time, LiveText's Outcome Alignment Tool will allow old and new data to be normalized. How's that for saving time?

Your Professional & Academic Development

LiveText's tools also provide the perfect way for you to create and maintain your own professional and academic development portfolio online. Our easy-to-use authoring tools enable you to create impressive portfolios that can be reorganized and updated at a moment's notice. Best of all, you'll enjoy the convenience of maintaining all your documents in a single environment that may be shared with reviewers at your discretion from any internet-connected computer.

Forms & Surveys

Need to collect data and accomplish it quickly? LiveText's versatile Forms tool allows you to easily create survey, evaluation, and data collection forms for a variety of purposes, such as student surveys, course evaluations, scoring guides, and program admission/exit applications. Once created, forms can be sent to respondents inside or outside the LiveText community. All data collected via Forms can be integrated into your reporting to further customize your data results. For situations where a web survey is not feasible, you may import your data from paper surveys and merge this information with your existing digital data in LiveText. Consequently, there's no need to have multiple files of results—all results may be managed from a single collection or a series of collections in one centralized secure environment.
