eLumen Training Materials

IMPORTANT: Workflows submitted by the October 6, 2023 Curriculum Submission Deadline will be effective Fall 2024 and included in the 2024-25 catalog.

eLumen is based on roles: Faculty using the eLumen Curriculum Module will use the Discipline Originator Role to submit  curriculum (new/modified/deactivated courses/awards) and the Faculty Role to review curriculum (new/modified/deactivated courses/awards) submitted by other faculty in the same discipline(s).

Auto-generated eLumen Emails: When eLumen emails faculty that they have curriculum in their Inbox, faculty should take note which role is receiving the notification: Discipline Originator role or Faculty role. Discipline Originators are not expected to review their own submissions using the Faculty role. Likewise, faculty who have not submitted a workflow should not use the Discipline Originator role for that workflow.

Videos for each step of a workflow for both the Discipline Originator Role and Faculty Role are below. Before watching role-specific videos, watch the General eLumen Training Videos for a basic understanding of eLumen.
