Note: Users must log in to KU Anywhere in order to access Visual Analytics from an off-campus location.

Tableau Visual Analytics

Tableau Visual Analytics is a restricted access data visualization and analytics platform that allows users to answer questions interactively. Some Visual Analytics dashboards are available to all non-student employees; others are restricted based on employee responsibility.  Employees can access Visual Analytics using their KU login. KU Anywhere log is required if accessing remotely.

Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC)

Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC) provides academic, financial, human resources, and research data to KU employees. As with Visual Analytics, employees access the system using their KU login in conjunction with KU Anywhere as appropriate, and some reports are only accessible to certain faculty and staff. OAC users can subscribe to the OAC User List to be notified about functionality issues, training opportunities, and other more general notifications about OAC.

Qualtrics

Qualtrics is a free, user-friendly, web-based survey software available to University of Kansas faculty, staff, and students. 

Academic Analytics Benchmarking Tools 

The Academic Analytics Benchmarking Tools provide academic unit leaders with comparative research productivity data, using discipline-specific weightings of various activities. This suite of resources includes the Benchmarking database, which allows users to compare KU's scholarly research activity with customizable peer groups, and Research Insight, a tool that helps users identify subject matter experts and discipline-specific award and grant opportunities. Access to this data is restricted: vice provosts and deans can view comparative data for all units at KU, while department heads can view comparative data for their department only.

Faculty Insight

Faculty Insight is KU's faculty activity management tool, allowing faculty to manage their records of scholarly activity related to teaching, research, and service, as well as download custom CVs. Faculty Insight is available through KU's subscription to Academic Analytics and is also connected to KU's public-facing research activities database, Experts at KU
