Administrators can now sort courses by subject and terms by type to better organize data and improve reporting. These updates support deeper insights into student performance across programs, departments, and academic structures. The update to terms is fully backwards compatible. 

  • Sort Courses by Subject: Group courses by subject to analyze learning outcomes across similar programs and course types. Subjects can be linked to nodes to reflect your institution’s hierarchy.
