The eCatalog is a new tool that will make it easier for educators to access OCSAE (Office of Curriculum Standards and Academic Engagement) professional development offerings which now include online learning opportunities through the Virtual Campus.

eCatalog is a one stop shop for all OSCAE professional learning opportunities. Users can browse through current offerings, check out pertinent news, and register for workshops all in one site. With a managed calendar and embedded course listing tools, users will find the information posted very current.

The eCatalog works part in parcel with the Virtual Campus but it’s not just for online offerings! You can use the eCatalog as your one stop shop for all professional learning opportunities. Browse offerings, register, and attend.

Features of the OCSAE eCatalog
