Administrators may select the default catalog or supply a link to an external course catalog from the Course Catalog Options page.
The default catalog groups courses into folders and lists them along with buttons for users to preview courses or login if they are enrolled in a course. An Administrator may incorporate an different catalog via URL. Inserting an outside course catalog will remove the Blackboard Learning System default catalog and users will not be able to preview or login to courses from the catalog.
The Course Catalog appears in the Courses common area. It can also be configured to appear on the Gateway Page.
