Revolutionizing the Academic Course Catalog System

Currently used by the University of Iowa to achieve its catalog management objectives, CourseLeaf enables schools to confidently oversee and publish accurate, compelling academic catalog editions. The system is uniquely equipped to blend structured data and narrative content. Structured data, drawn from a school’s course database system, delivers the most accurate information possible. Narrative content, from the school’s experts, delivers captivating and enlightening course descriptions. The two are mixed to create a robust and easy to use course catalog which can be published to any output type including web, print, PDF or CD-ROM.

The content workload can be delegated to those most knowledgeable about the courses. Meanwhile, schools can oversee the production to ensure everything is done on time while upholding its level of editorial content. Information must be approved by all necessary editors before reaching publication. Editors can add notes, make changes, and view changes made by other editors.

Leepfrog has also attempted to make CourseLeaf easier to work into staffs’ daily routine for a smoother deployment. It integrates with a schools existing campus authentication system, leveraging existing account names and passwords. Most campuses can also use their existing group management system to maintain internal roles and workflows and establish page authorship.

CourseLeaf is based on technology from the PageLeaf content management system which has been in use at college campuses for almost a decade, and has proven its flexibility and ease of use. The CourseLeaf system is designed to streamline the course catalog production process, making the catalog easy to revise and publish across multiple output types, from web to print. While diversifying catalog management through a simple interface, it centralizes workflow and editorial control.
