CourseLeaf is the only academic operations platform that offers on-site consultation and training during implementation. That experienced guidance ensures a system designed to meet your goals with early adoption by admins and faculty.
Assembling the right Core Team with a variety of skills gives you a big advantage through the CourseLeaf implementation process. Consider including team members with campus roles in curriculum, administration, IT, technical needs for your system of record, and website design.
One of the unique aspects of implementation with CourseLeaf is our onsite consultation. A CourseLeaf Consultant travels to your campus to help your Core Team make decisions on software configurations that will support your unique processes and policies. Prior to that session, take some time to consider the most pressing challenges you hope to solve with CourseLeaf – from short term goals to your more long-term, strategic vision.
Leepfrog utilizes a client-responsive process to implement our products. Visually, this concept is best represented as a baton being passed back and forth from Leepfrog to you throughout the project. Your custom Project Dashboard will keep you informed at every step along the way, so take some time to make sure your Core Team feels comfortable using the dashboard once your project begins.
Implementation timelines vary depending on the solutions you select, the complexity of your academic processes, and your institution's priorities. Most projects are completed over several months, allowing time for discovery, configuration, testing, training, and a successful launch. Your implementation team will work with you to develop a project plan that aligns with your goals and schedule.
CourseLeaf implementation is a collaborative process designed to ensure the platform fits your institution's unique needs. The project typically includes discovery sessions, workflow design, system configuration, integration with your student information system, testing, training, and go-live support. Throughout the process, our experienced implementation team provides guidance and best practices drawn from hundreds of successful higher education implementations.
One of the hallmarks of a CourseLeaf implementation is the opportunity to work directly with experienced higher education curriculum consultants. These on-site experts help your institution evaluate current processes, share best practices from hundreds of implementations, and configure CourseLeaf to support your academic goals.
Successful implementations bring together stakeholders from across the institution. Depending on the solutions being implemented, participants often include representatives from the registrar's office, academic affairs, curriculum committees, information technology, institutional research, scheduling, advising, and other administrative offices. CourseLeaf works with your team to identify the right stakeholders and establish a collaborative implementation process.
Yes. Training is an integral part of every implementation. CourseLeaf provides role-based training to help administrators, faculty, and staff confidently use the platform from day one. Beyond implementation, clients have access to documentation, webinars, user resources, and ongoing educational opportunities including our annual user conference, LUC, and our Certified CourseLeaf Professional certification program, to help teams continue building expertise.
Your partnership with CourseLeaf includes ongoing technical support, software updates, product documentation, and access to experienced higher education specialists. Our support team is available to answer questions, resolve issues, and help your institution get the most value from your CourseLeaf solutions long after implementation is complete.
CourseLeaf is designed to reflect the way your institution works. During implementation, our team collaborates with you to configure approval workflows, business rules, forms, notifications, user permissions, and other processes to align with your governance structure and institutional policies. The result is a solution that supports your existing processes while providing the flexibility to evolve as your needs change.
Yes. Every institution has its own academic structures, governance models, and operational requirements. CourseLeaf is highly configurable, allowing you to tailor workflows, approvals, forms, and business rules to fit your unique processes rather than forcing your institution to conform to rigid software. At the same time, our implementation team shares higher education best practices to help you identify opportunities to improve efficiency and support future innovation.
