Watermark

““Survey responses jumped to 90%+ and retention rose to 68% with a combination of Watermark solutions. We started with Course Evaluations & Surveys (CES) [and] were able to implement the entire tool in a few weeks.””

““Last spring, our response rates were in the 30% range. Our first semester using Course Evaluations & Surveys, we were at 83%. The only thing that changed was the technology.””

““We’ve seen about a 50% reduction in time as far as preparation for our self-study and our strategic plan because everything is there in [Watermark Planning & Self-Study].””

““We accommodate 52 ways within Faculty Success. When the committees get together, it’s standardized and reportable.””

““Client feedback is really important to Watermark. Knowing that you can put in a work request and really customize something to what you need for your specific college department, and still have it pull up the reporting that you need. So I’m glad that [our leadership] chose Watermark.””

““Watermark helps with time management. We no longer have to work with the three inch binders of physical dossiers – we can do a workflow, and the faculty are seeing that it moves seamlessly, that we can schedule things and really make it work…Because we have to do more with less time. [This] helps automate it.””

““Watermark helped us streamline promotion and tenure and make it a much easier process for our faculty. It’s also helped our curriculum development. Faculty can track where their requests are in the process…they remain informed and are empowered to be involved in the process, which has helped with buy in. All of these changes have been a huge help.””

““Before Watermark Faculty Success, my office would have to remind, reformat, and gather information manually for a very important piece of a faculty member’s career. It’s nice to have easy-to-access data and formalized collective-bargaining-based prompts on what’s supposed to be submitted so faculty aren’t missing things.“”

““Faculty Success has a streamlined process with their RPT module to automatically move reviews through the system. Now faculty need less support and we have more content faculty completing the process.“”

““We’re a Brightspace D2L institution. So the student experience links for those surveys were also watched at the same time as the course instructor evaluations. And I think we had better results than previous years because it was all within the same platform and the reminders were we’re going out in a similar format.””

““Curriculum Strategy has a comprehensive listing of all programs and courses at CMU. [CS] helps the team maintain organization.””

““From Faculty Success, we can gather the publication data, presentations and research support for grants and clinical activities…All of this data consistency is a big piece of the reduction of duplication.””

““The ePortfolio tool is easy to use with its drag-and-drop interface. I’ve incorporated this into classes and into our program’s Capstone course…it’s easy to use for faculty and students.””

““The [Faculty Success] report for HLC accreditation listed the courses each faculty member had taught over the last five years, faculty transcripts, and the vitae. It was so clean the HLC asked us to present the system at their next conference.””
