D2I is excited to share the release of two new dashboards available to all faculty and staff:   

• Multiple Courses: Weekly Class Schedule and Metrics 
• Single Course: Details and Trends 

Each dashboard contains detailed information on selected courses offered by a college/school by semester for the latest 5 academic years, including a class-level calendar, seat utilization, room details and space usage, DFQ rates and course ratings, as well as student affiliations.  

Note: These dashboards are not yet refreshing daily. The source data were last updated on Friday, November 1, ahead of Spring 2025 continuing registration. We are planning one more ad-hoc refresh in mid-November after continuing registration has closed. In December, we plan to roll out a production release that will be on a daily refresh cadence.  

Data to Insights (D2I) is excited to announce the release of the Faculty Teaching Activity and Faculty Salaries dashboards and updates to existing resources as part of UT’s growing Trusted Information Infrastructure.
