Introducing Curriculum Builder

     Introducing Curriculum Builder: a New CougarView Tool for Students and Faculty

      CougarView has a new feature designed to allow a convenient location for all reading assignments in a course or course module. Curriculum Builder is a one-stop tab that will link directly to electronic journal articles in Cougar View, URLs for internet resources, and notes on the textbook and on other related sources. This tool is helpful to both students and faculty, allowing faculty to easily add resources on CougarView, simply by searching an embedded portion of Galileo, and allowing students to look up a module and directly access the article from CougarView.
