The Electronic Curriculum Management System (ECMS) is an in-house application that was developed by De Anza College webmaster, Bradley Creamer. The application was designed to centralize and streamline the course revision and creation processes, and allow sharing of course outlines within the various departments and divisions on campus.
ECMS is composed of many subsystems, but the main ones that are highly utilized for curriculum development and maintenance are: searchable course outline, and edit/create course outlines subsystem (training site and live site). The searchable course outline
subsystem is opened to everyone with internet access; this subsystem allows you to view and print course outlines that are currently in the course catalog. The training site for the edit/create course outlines subsystem allows you to practice and obtain skills on how to create or revise a course outline in ECMS. New ECMS users are recommended to start here to gain ECMS skills and knowlegde prior to using the live site. The live site for the edit/create course outlines subsystem allows you to create or revise a course outline. Both training and live edit/create course subsystems are only accessible to De Anza faculty and staff with a user account.
If you need an ECMS account and/or training please send an email to
ecmsadmin@fhda.edu. You can also view the ECMS webpage for a list of upcoming trainings dates. One-on-one and small group trainings are available upon request.
