New IU Expand offerings
IU Expand has added six new catalogs and more than 300 new courses since our last newsletter. Here are some highlights from the past six months.
Eppley Center for Parks and Public Lands
The Eppley Center for Parks and Public Lands and IU Expand have been collaborating since March 2024. In just a few weeks, Eppley transferred more than 100 courses from ProValens to Canvas LMS and IU Expand. The courses have already generated 5,245 enrollments and more than $14,000 in revenue. Eppley is also the first catalog to launch courses taught entirely in Spanish.
