Xitracs Credentials™

The Xitracs Credentials™ module allows information to be captured and managed for:

•Faculty and Staff members - Qualifications, Curriculum Vitae (CV), Courses taught, Documents

•Courses - Course Sections (instances), Semesters, Instructors (faculty), Syllabi

The information can be categorized by School and by Department within a school and also by Campus (if the campus feature is installed).

Various management and agency Reports can be generated, for example, the mapping of faculty qualifications to courses taught. In addition, a dynamic website view of credentials information can be made available for external reviewers.

Information regarding the import format of credentials information is available in a separate publication: Xitracs Data Import Guide.

When the Credentials module is first set up, information must be added to the system in the correct sequence of steps. See the Control Panel function or the Xitracs Data Import Guide for more information.

Faculty and course information may be added via import or manual entry and consist of the following main elements:

Faculty information

1.Base Data

2.Qualifications

3.Course mapping

Course information

1.Course catalog

2.Course sections by semester

Course Sections are the actual instances of a course; a course may have multiple sections across multiple semesters.

The course catalog may be published if the optional Catalog Publisher Add-On™ is installed.

Documents

Faculty and staff documents are added manually via the Documents tab.

If the Documents tab in the Xitracs Portal is enabled, certain documents such as a CV can be added by a faculty or staff member using the Feedback function.

If the optional Xitracs File-Q™ feature is installed, documents can be profiled and added to a faculty or staff record by viewing a queued item.
