What is a Catalog?

An IU Expand catalog is a place to maintain the courses associated with a specific department/unit sponsor. Every course is associated with a catalog. You can use your catalog to showcase and promote some or all of your courses on IU Expand.

Courses in a catalog can be offered individually, but can also be organized into programs (collections of courses that are offered together). Both courses and programs can automatically deliver downloadable certificates of completion to students that satisfy course requirements.

Catalogs are maintained by admins who are designated by agreement with IU Expand.

How to Use the Catalog

When a catalog is first created, someone in the sponsoring department will be designated as the Lead Catalog Admin.

Admins can:

• Create new course listings
• Control the publishing settings for the entire catalog and all the courses in it
• View and download course analytics
