Welcome to CourseCompass: New features

Students: Simplified registration
All CourseCompass student registration and enrollment activities now start at a single entry point and prompt you for the course ID first. CourseCompass uses the course ID to determine the appropriate registration options for you, significantly simplifying registration and enrollment

Online Help improvements
Online Help has an updated user interface with improved search capabilities. Macintosh users can now access all the Help system’s features, including the index and search functionality

One-click access to all your Pearson products
The MyPlaces area on the CourseCompass home page will let you view and link to all your Pearson products from one, easy-to-navigate location. From here, you will be able to create a personal list of favorites for one-click access to the products you use most.

Educators: You can manage your course lists and announcements
Soon you will have complete control over the courses displayed in your Courses list. Using the Settings button at the top of the list, you will be able to choose only those courses you need to display and use a quick, simple drag-and-drop interface to reorder them.

Similarly, you will be able to choose whether or not to show the course announcements list on the CourseCompass home page. By default, course announcements will be hidden to save space, but you will be able to use the Settings button to redisplay them if you prefer. Either way, students will always be able to access your course announcements.

Course life cycle
Based on recommendations from current CourseCompass users, Pearson is establishing a default course duration of 15 months. When a course reaches its end date, the system will schedule it for automatic deletion. Educators will receive three email reminders before the course, its assignments, and the student results are removed. To preserve course content, educators can copy the course and then export the gradebook and other course results before removal.
