Coursedog Curriculum Management vs CourseLoop

Coursedog Curriculum Management helps higher education institutions manage curriculum changes from proposals through approvals, records and reporting. Proposal Manager displays proposal status and uses AI-powered summaries to surface changes, context and submitter details. Institutions can configure drag-and-drop approval workflows and create forms with validated fields and auto-population. The product centralizes course and program information from SIS and non-SIS sources, and supports learning outcomes tied to courses and programs. Users can export custom reports tracking changes such as program modifications and courses not taught. Approved changes can flow into the catalog, learning outcomes can sync across modules, and curricular updates can trigger syllabus changes. Coursedog says its scheduling tools run on an institution’s SIS and sync changes in real time. APIs are included in the standard license, and federated sign-on is supported through SAML 2.0 or CAS. The SIS Integrations Hub includes status monitoring, centralized configuration, CSV uploads and manual merges. Pricing is on request. Coursedog identifies registrars, provosts, CIOs and accreditation roles among its audiences.
