New software will streamline curriculum development

Hundreds of new or revised courses are proposed every year at the UO. And for each, faculty and staff must go through a lengthy, multi-step review.

CourseLeaf, a new software tool in the Office of Academic Affairs, is expected to streamline the process of curriculum development.

The office has adopted the curriculum management software to streamline what it calls “the cumbersome and confusing course and curriculum proposal process.”

Two UO programs receive NEH grants
