Faculty are required to report their teaching, service, and research/creative activities for the preceding calendar year by January 15 of each spring semester. IU uses Digital Measures Activity Insight (DMAI) for this faculty reporting process. Faculty can access their DMAI at any time during the year and are encouraged to update their activities regularly.
DMAI Overview for JSoM Faculty
The information entered in the DMAI is reviewed by your department chair and by the Dean. The Research and Creative Activity section is of upmost importance as this information is considered in making salary recommendations and is aggregated for reports to the campus.
Please note that there is a box to check if an entry has a diversity component or if it involved civic engagement.
All information for the preceding calendar year should be entered into the DMAI by January 15. There is no submit button. Once you enter the information, it will appear in the report. There is a “save” button on some screens.
