To be quite frank it varies enormously from institution to  
institution.  It depends upon the quality of work, the quantity of  
work, and the work's context as well.  Finally, it also depends upon  
whether the work is part of the requirements of the position and/or  
whether this type of work was listed in the job description the  
candidate initially applied to.

I would be happy to discuss the issue directly.

Franz-Joseph,

In discussions here at Swarthmore, the Provost has basically said  
that the standards, would be much the same as for books and  
traditional scholarship.  The Committees on tenure and promotion  
would be looking for scholarly material, in whatever form, that moves  
scholarship in a particular field forward.  She didn't see the need  
for the development of explicit criteria for online work ... which of  
course probably does little to encourage non-traditional work.  One  
person to contact for her experience would be Barbara Nelson at Colby  
College, who received a promotion to full Professor last year based  
on a Dossier that consisted largely of online work.
