Coursedog is a revolutionary platform designed to help colleges and universities streamline their academic operations. By connecting scheduling, curriculum, catalog, syllabus, and assessment into one seamless system, Coursedog builds the foundation for student success through better academic management. Despite the effectiveness of their solution, Coursedog faced a significant challenge: reaching the right decision-makers in colleges and universities across the country.
