Filters

The process used to edit a course or program on the IDE site (www.electroniccampus.info/ide) is known as “Setting Your Filter” - by using the filter setting, which is located at the top of the CDE (for courses) or PDE (for programs) landing page, the users will be allowed to narrow down the number of course or program records that they wish to edit and/or review.

It is important to note that each EC institutional coordinator is able to view all courses entered in the EC database for his or her institution. However, college or university staff, who are not institutional coordinators, will have access only to course and program information entered with their specific login information.

If there has been a database update or if you have not logged in within 90 days, it may be necessary to re-set your filter to view courses and programs.

* The filter process is similar to the student search procedure.
