# Course catalog

> Browse ready-made simulation courses for your program — clone one into a class, or self-enroll as a learner.

The **Course Catalog** is SimCare's library of ready-made simulation courses. Each catalog course bundles a set of AI client cases (plus optional quizzes and document readings) into a structured learning path. Instructors can use one as the foundation for a class, and learners can self-enroll directly.

## Finding the catalog

Go to **/course-catalog** in the top navigation. The catalog is available to all signed-in instructors, admins, and learners — free-tier accounts are redirected to upgrade.

## Browsing

The catalog has a single search bar and a grouped list of course cards:

* **Search** — type any topic, presenting issue, or course name
* Courses are grouped by category or by school (depending on your account)
* Each card shows the course title and a quick description

Click **How does this work?** in the top right for a short walkthrough of the catalog.

## Course detail page

Click any card to open the course detail page. From here you can:

* Read the full course description and learning goals
* See the list of included assignments (cases, quizzes, and document readings)
* Preview each assignment's details modal
* Preview the welcome message learners will see

## Using a course (instructors & admins)

When you're ready to use a course in your own class, click **Use this course**. SimCare clones the entire course into your program as a new class, including:

* All cases with their settings
* Any quizzes and document readings
* The opening welcome message
* The recommended sequencing

You can then customize the cloned class freely without affecting the original template. Once created, invite students by email, enrollment code, or LTI (Canvas, Blackboard, D2L, Moodle).

<Tip>Cloning is one-way — your edits won't change the template, and updates to the template won't push back into your class.</Tip>

## Self-enrolling (learners)

If you're using SimCare as a self-paced learner (without an instructor-assigned class):

1. Open the catalog and pick a course
2. Click **Use this course** to enroll yourself
3. Assignments appear on your **My Learning** dashboard
4. Work through them on your own schedule — no due dates unless the catalog course set them

## Building your own course

The **Build my course** button in the top right takes you to your classes page, where you can compose a course from scratch using your existing cases.

## Why a course might be missing

The catalog shows publicly-published templates created by SimCare and partner programs. Courses your institution builds privately won't appear — your instructor will share those directly via enrollment code or LMS link.
