Introducing Elements
Elements @ IU is a faculty activity reporting system from Digital Science. It replaced the Watermark DMAI product in the Fall of 2024. Elements will be the repository demonstrating the work and achievements of IU’s faculty.
The transition to Elements is aimed at addressing current issues with data entry and reporting, enhancing user experience, improving efficiency, and providing you with better tools to manage and report your academic activities. Elements offers several advanced features that will streamline the reporting process and provide more comprehensive insights into your scholarly endeavors.
Several data sources will be automatically fed into Elements @ IU including:
- Grant information from Kuali Coeus (KC) will be fed into Elements.
- SIS - Courses information from SIS will be fed into the “Courses Taught” activity type.
- Human Resources Management System (HRMS)- new accounts will be created overnight to allow access for logging into the application along with employee title information will populate user‘s profiles with IU appointment data.
- Harvested publications data – from a variety of bibliographic databases.
All data entered into DMAI prior to its retirement on August 1, 2024, will be transitioned into Elements as part of its implementation. This data migration is expected to take several months but should be completed by early 2025.
Resources for Elements are available at the Academic Leadership Council web site.
