2 Course Catalog
The Course Catalog provides access to your institution’s course catalog via the Internet.
You can specify one or multiple terms to be available for viewing on the Web.
The course catalog can display basic course information, such as credits, course
description, prerequisites, and corequisites.
You can do the following in the Banner® Faculty and Advisor Self-Service Course
Catalog module:
• Create a rudimentary syllabus (made up of student learning objectives, required
materials for the course, and technical requirements) (baseline only)
• Use an expanded course title (up to 100 characters)
• Use long course descriptions
• Store the URL for course content (baseline only)
• Search for courses based on criteria other than term
• Define instructional methods for courses (baseline only)
• Specify the duration of the course (the amount of time to be given to the student to
complete the course) for the course and section levels to determine the expected
course completion date for the student (baseline only)
• Create a single course for both traditional and Open Learning class offerings. The
delivery method of the course is established when the individual section records are
created
These features support both traditional and Open Learning courses.
Note
The primary way that the system recognizes an Open Learning course is
that no part of term is associated with it.
•
The information in the Course Catalog Web pages is dynamic, which means that the data
is extracted directly from the database.
