How Does Coursedog Compare to the Alternatives?
Coursedog’s Academic Operations Platform is designed to reduce manual work and the data risks of point solutions with its industry leading integrations.
What Are Your Options for Administering Academic Operations?
Option 1: Manual Processes
Institutions use manual processes such as forms, email, spreadsheets, and more to execute their academic operations.
Option 2: Point Solutions
Institutions implement disparate solutions that manage distinct but inter-dependent workstreams in academic operations. These solutions often still require pairing with manual processes.
Option 3: Integrated Academic Operations
Institutions can save time and drive more impact with a single platform that has the tools needed to execute truly integrated academic operations.
Option 1: Manual Processes
Most institutions rely on manual processes to manage each element of their academic operations. Typically the tools and processes lack integrations and require duplicate work to ensure data is entered everywhere it needs to be.

The specific tools vary from institution to institution ranging from forms to spreadsheets with complex formulas. Ultimately they all mean the same thing — academic administrators spend the bulk of their time doing manual work such as entering data into several sources and manually reviewing documents for accuracy.
Pros
Cons
Option 2: Point Solutions
Institutions may also use various point solutions to handle different their academic operations. Some solutions integrate with the SIS or another tool, however, many of them do not. Institutions adopting point solutions often end up with similar outcomes as manual processes because they're managing multiple tools with non-native integrations and are still working in separate places.

Typically, schools that rely on a various point solutions will have a one or a few solutions that specialize in specific areas, such as an event scheduling tool, a section scheduling tool, a curriculum management solution, and an online catalog creator. These tools are linked together either through manual uploads or non-native integrations that require more active management that increase risk of errors.
