Coursedog Curriculum Management vs ExamSoft

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.

ExamSoft is a digital assessment platform for creating, administering, and grading exams, then generating performance reports. The ExamSoft Portal supports item banking, authoring, scheduling, scoring, and reporting. Questions can be tagged for reporting, and the portal provides category and longitudinal performance reports. Exam-takers download exam files before the scheduled assessment and can then work offline in Examplify. For assessments marked secure, Examplify restricts access to other files and applications, and exam files are deleted from the device after completion. When enabled, ExamMonitor records video and audio during secure assessments for later review of potential academic integrity breaches. Listed LMS integrations include Blackboard 9.1 and above, Canvas, D2L, and Moodle 2.9 and above, with student and course data syncing to ExamSoft and grades to the LMS GradeBook. ExamSoft serves education programs and organizations administering certification and licensure exams. Pricing is on request. Examplify supports Windows, macOS, and iPad, but not Chromebooks, Android, or Linux.
