- Links to working instances of the tool (waiting to hear from rSmart about getting the tool installed on their server)
- Known requirements for institutions considering the tool: This is a place for tire-kickers to briefly list major gaps and/or functional areas that are missing from the current tool. It is not intended to capture detailed requirements, but rather to help the evaluation team when considering the road map for the tool. Also note that features which are not controllable should be made configurable or removed to not impose on others; the intent is to prevent upgrades from causing problems for institutions running earlier versions

- Who is running the tool?
- University of Maryland
- CourseEvalUM website with detailed information on our process for approval on campus. Maryland had two things happening that resulted in deploying this tool: (1) request from students that prompted a multi-year task force asking for unified items across the university (we were decentralized in terms of course evaluation) and (2) request from students to deploy the course evaluation online and make results availale online (i.e. like Pick-a-Prof type service).

- What are the scope and scale of the implementations already underway?
- University of Maryland has been using the Evaluation Tool university-wide since Spring 2008. Currently, Maryland is using course/group or instructor/evaluatee items, multiple instructor functionality and hierarchy for deploying a single evaluation institution-wide. Two levels of the hierarchy are currently being used in the deployment (university and college). Seven colleges/schools have added college-level items (either course/group or instructor/evaluatee or both).

- Who is running the tool?
- Institution specific documentation (not guaranteed to be fit for any particular use, but offered as a starting point for other institutions when considering writing their own docs)
- Cambridge documentation (pending OK from Hattie)
