Curriculum Tags

Curriculum tags are curriculum attributes drawn from ManageBac+ and may include academic programs, subject groupings, subject names and subject classes set up within ManageBac+.

Once imported, curriculum tags can be used to tag specific resources in your catalogue that offer targeted support to any of these curriculum attributes.

You can choose to:

1. . Note: Imported curriculum tags will be stored in the catalogue authority files.
