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.

How do other colleges/universities look at online work (website development) as an integral part of promotion and tenure?
We would like to integrate that part into our peer review process.
