Fewer hours spent on catalog management
System-wide content accuracy
Simple and flexible PDF generation options
A catalog that is engaging and easy to navigate for students
CAT's online interface provides intuitive tools that allow you to easily add, edit and update accessible content. With the click of a button, pre-defined tables pull course lists from your student information system and a central photo and video library makes it easy for everyone to include the right information. CAT's effective term functionality ensures your changes go live exactly when you want them to.
CAT’s custom catalog templates put your campus brand front and center while content tools and special features allow you to add information, like learning outcomes, career data and guided pathways, that support student success. Staff and students can share their favorite content on social media or generate PDFs on-demand for any page (or the entire catalog). When it’s time to update your brand, a catalog design refresh is free!
CAT includes advanced integration with your student information system (SIS) to ensure course and program information is always accurate and aligned. Catalog content can be generated from your SIS or catalog archive to save time and increase accuracy. Because users can update multiple sections and even multiple catalogs at once, rework is significantly reduced. For fast and easy access, users login with their existing usernames and passwords via single sign-on (SSO).
You get to tell CAT who participates in each stage of the content creation process so the right people are involved in specific sections or subsections; automated email alerts during workflow let them know when it’s time to take action.
History is never lost with CAT; it tracks, logs, and archives all changes, letting you view the evolution of catalog development and approvals and use historic publications to pre-populate new editions.
The CourseLeaf Inclusive Curriculum Tool can help colleges and universities achieve their institutional diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) goals. This tool allows campuses to create and customize a style guide with a library of rules around the use of inclusive language. The tool can then review your curriculum language and help you align it with your guide - creating a more inclusive catalog and thus growing a campus culture with a greater sense of belonging.
