“Most web-based course catalogs that I have surfed through seem like they were designed using an original Commodore 64”
My “dream” course catalog would include:•Reliable and relevant search function•Metadata, e.g. content tags•CMS integration (link to prof’s bio & research?) •Multimedia (sample lecture video?)•Course Matrices to showcase relationship of class with other academic programs•Accessible from mobile device
“Please know that in 2010 it is, in this author’s opinion, unacceptable to publish a course catalog as a gigantic and unwieldy PDF. Furthermore, please save trees. Course catalogs do not need to be printed. Web-based catalogs are more efficient, more accessible, and are not the future, they are the present.”
