Programs
Description
The Open Education Data Dashboard uses the term "Program" to be any grouping of instructors engaged in your open education programming. You can group participants in ways that are meaningful for you to help track their progress . For example, if you run an Open Education program that provides grants to faculty for adopting OER in a class, you might want to track the grant applicants and recipients in a program called "Grant Program" where you can track their participation and progress in subsequent years.
If there are instances in which you work with faculty on an individual basis, you will need to create a program before you are able to add an individual to the dashboard. For example, you could create a program called, "Faculty Referrals AY 22-23," that could serve as the group to which you add individual faculty members that you work with over the course of that academic year.
Programs can be managed under the Programs tab.
Add a Program
Click on the +Program button, and select Program from the dropdown menu. (If your program has an event/workshop connected to the program, see the "Adding a Program with Event/Workshops" section below).
2. In the dialog box, add the following information:
Program Name
Default Cost/Person
Program Description
Tags
If you manage a system or consortium, you will also be asked to indicate which institution(s) the faculty in this program are from. You can hover over the gray circles with an "i" in them to view additional context defining the field.
3. Click Submit.
Add or Deactivate Program Participants
1. To add participants to a program, click on the number in the Participants column under the main Programs tab. This will take you to the Participants page. Program participants can then be entered in the Add Participants field (Email, First Name, Last Name) either as comma-delimited rows or by copying and pasting from a spreadsheet whose columns reflect that same structure and order (Email column, First Name column, Last Name column).
2. Click the Add button to add them to the program.
3. Note that you can Deactivate Participants by clicking the check box next to their name and then selecting Deactivate from the With Selected: dropdown menu.
Note for System/Consortial members only:
In order to batch add participants, you will need to add them in subgroups by individual institution.
Add names of those from a particular institution, and then check the,"Designate Institution for All" box. Select the institution that should be designated to all listed faculty members.
Repeat to add any faculty members from your other member institutions.
