Page 3 of 7: Update on the transition from WebCV to Elements

Dear Colleagues,

In the month since beginning my position as chair, many people have asked for an update on the transition from WebCV to Elements. With the help of Dr. David Tang-Wai and Joanna King, here are answers to your most frequently asked questions:

Why the switch from Elements to WebCV?

The DoM is currently the only department still using WebCV, which is expensive and can be difficult to use. Elements is an online CV tool which also offers the option of a public profile on DiscoverResearch at the University of Toronto. It provides faculty with both a CV module and a customizable online profile, allowing them to share their achievements with the public. Faculty can control what is publicly visible on their profiles by logging into Elements, the back-end environment that populates DiscoverResearch.

For promotion candidates:

If you are going forward for promotion in the 2023-2025 cycle, continue to use WebCV. If you are going through promotions in the 2024-2026 cycle, your data migration to Elements will be prioritized.

For CFAR candidates:

If you are going through CFAR in 2025, your data migration to Elements will be prioritized. However, you may continue to use WebCV until you have finalized your CFAR documents in February 2025.
