Overview
You can propose changes to an existing course or program using Coursedog’s Curriculum Management platform. The overall process is the same for both; what differs is where you go to get started.
To edit a course, navigate to Curriculum Management > Courses.
To edit a program, navigate to Curriculum Management > Programs.
How to Do It
Step One: Follow the above path to find and open the course or program you wish to edit.
Step Two: Select “Propose Changes” on the right-hand toolbar under “Actions”.
Step Three:
From the dropdown, select the form you want to use for the proposal.
Click “submit”.
Step Four: Fill out the fields.
Step Five: Click “Submit Proposal” on the right-hand toolbar under “Actions”.
Share Proposal
If you want to collaborate with your colleagues on a proposal, you can do so by sharing the link (copy it from your browser’s address bar and then share via your preferred method, e.g. email).
By sharing the link, you can collaborate with others directly within the Coursedog platform before submitting your proposal.
View Changes
When you’ve worked extensively on a change request, it can be easy to forget what changes you have made. Coursedog solves this by tracking any changes and making them available.
At any point while suggesting changes, click “View Changes” on the right-hand toolbar under “Actions”. A “Current Changes” modal will pop up.
You can use this feature to easily track the changes you have made and make sure everything is accurate before submitting.
Direct Edit Warning Message
If a user attempts to navigate out of the course or program record while they’re in Edit mode, a warning message will display.
The user will be prompted to select “Yes'' or “Go Back to Editing”.
Proposals via the Curriculum Homepage
In some cases you might be able to propose changes to a course or program from the Curriculum homepage by selecting “New Proposal” under “Actions”.
Note that proposing edits this way could result in the creation of a new revision. If your SIS doesn’t support revisions, you should avoid proposing edits this way and instead follow the steps outlined above.
