Curricular Change Process for Higher Education Now Streamlined through Integration between CourseLeaf ® and Nuventive Improvement Platform™
CORALVILLE, Iowa and PITTSBURGH – March 19, 2020 – Leepfrog Technologies and Nuventive today announced an integration aimed to simplify the complex process of managing curricular changes in higher education. Designed to serve faculty members, the integrated solutions will synchronize changes through both the curricular and outcomes management processes, for a consistent view of curriculum changes and related outcomes.
The CourseLeaf suite of curricular solutions allows colleges and universities to manage their curriculums from inception through registration. It spans catalog management, curriculum management, course scheduling, planning, advising, registration and syllabi management technologies and features faculty-focused intuitive forms and automated workflows to simplify the change process.
“CourseLeaf was the first to deliver fully-integrated modules with unrivaled Student Information System (SIS) integration capabilities so your data is accurate, timely, and in sync,” says Lee Brintle, CEO of Leepfrog. “Our new integration with Nuventive furthers our mission to enrich higher education with solutions to promote student and faculty success.”
The Nuventive Improvement Platform handles planning for any improvement or transformation initiative on campus, such as overall strategy, accreditation, graduation rates, retention, learning outcomes, general education, housing, green campus, administrative outcomes, program review, and diversity. It enables institutions to use the information they have available to develop better cultural agility and positive feedback loops to identify areas for improvement.
“Managing curricular changes to programs and courses is a complex, interlocking process involving input and feedback from campus stakeholders in the curricular process as well as the planning and assessment process,” said Nuventive CEO Dr. David Raney. “This integration between Nuventive and Leepfrog will deliver a seamless, integrated, internally consistent view of curriculum changes across both platforms.”
The integration is designed to eliminate frustrating duplicate data entry for faculty members, who need to track both curricular changes and outcomes. This is particularly relevant for community college systems, where college and district curriculum committees often have to maintain outcomes in two distinct systems. Data flows easily between the integrated systems, eliminating re-keying of shared data and keeps them in sync.
