Courses

Courses must be configured to display the data from within Catalog Management, and as an Admin, you will determine which gadgets will display in the published catalog as well as how they should display.

• Add Gadgets
• Configure Gadget Display
• Configure Grouping/Filtering
• Remove Gadgets

Every institution has different needs for the type of information they need to display on their catalog, but most have a few fields in common. The following fields are commonly used by a large number of institutions, and we would recommend them as a starting point for your catalog:

• Subject/Prefix
• Number/Code
• Title
• Credits
• Description
• Pre/Co-requisites
• Learning Outcomes

Note: The settings in this section apply to a specific catalog. If you would like to manage settings for all catalogs, see the section for System Settings.
