In Spring 2009 the Walker College of Business officially transitioned to a new faculty data management system called Digital Measures. It is expected that Appalachian State University will adopt Digital Measures for faculty campus-wide.

The new system replaces Sedona, with which many COB faculty are familiar. Sedona is no longer being used.

A brief introduction to Digital Measures was prepared prior to the system going live for use by faculty (download here [DOC]). Since then, there have been questions from faculty not anticipated in the introduction. These have now been organized into a Frequently Asked Question page. If you have further questions, please contact COB Digital Measures administrator Rob Robertson.
