Powerful Visualization Tools in CourseLeaf CLSS for Smarter, Data-Driven Scheduling
CourseLeaf CLSS gives you real-time, filterable scheduling intelligence that empowers academic departments and central administration alike. With advanced visualization tools like the Framer, Heat Map, and Snapper™, you can streamline course planning, uncover scheduling gaps, and improve resource allocation across your institution.
CLSS Framer: Historical Insight for Smarter Planning
Get a clear view of how your course schedules have evolved. The Framer enables comparative year-over-year or term-over-term analysis, showing course codes, section details, instructors, meeting times, enrollment figures, and canceled sections—all side by side.
Key benefits:
- Evaluate trends in section demand and enrollment
- Plan instructor resources effectively
- Determine optimal section counts based on historical performance
- Filter by department, term, location, or modality for focused reporting
CLSS Heat Map: Visualize Usage Across the Week
The Heat Map transforms scheduling data into a visual grid, highlighting when and where your institution is busiest—or underutilized. Pair it with CLSS’s robust filtering options to drill down by course, department, building, or instructional mode.
Key benefits:
- Identify peak vs. low-traffic time slots
- Visualize classroom utilization across campus
- Enforce scheduling policies with real-time data
- Highlight bottlenecks or availability for expansion
CLSS Snapper: Real-Time Scheduling, Made Intuitive
The Snapper gives you a live, drag-and-drop calendar view for section planning. It automatically suggests standard meeting patterns and shows related courses (like labs or corequisites) so you can prevent time conflicts and optimize placement.
Key benefits:
- View all sections of a course in one grid
- Schedule corequisites side-by-side (e.g., lecture + lab)
- Instantly “snap” sections into recommended meeting times
- Filter by instructor, location, or course level for customized scheduling
One Integrated Experience
With synchronized data from your SIS (e.g., Banner, PeopleSoft, etc.), CLSS eliminates the need for manual updates or IT support. All tools are fully integrated, ensuring real-time accuracy from planning through publication.
