Faculty Activity Tracker




Overview
As a UX/UI Designer in Sandbox @ Northeastern, I collaborated with a team of developers, a project lead, and another designer on Faculty Activity Tracker – a website for the Northeastern College of Arts, Media, and Design merit committee to review faculty accomplishments and activities and decide eligibility for raises, promotions, etc.

Background


Every college within Northeastern University has a faculty merit committee (MC) whose job is to review their faculty each year to decide who is eligible for: raises, promotions, etc. based off their accomplishments/activities in the past academic year.

Currently, the MC sends out a form/word document to all faculty in December and the faculty have ~1.5 months to complete the form, describing everything they have done over the past year.

Our client, a joint faculty member between the College of Arts, Media, and Design and the College of Engineering at Northeastern, was looking for a web-based system that would improve:
  • Speed of the process
  • Visibility and clarity of forms
  • Faculty reflection on past years
  • Integrated with statistics and other tools for MC use

During the Fall 2022 semester, another UX designer and I worked on creating the website’s interface from scratch.
