CourseWorks is Columbia University's online course management system that provides course-specific websites for instructors and students. Every CourseWorks site includes pre-populated course information provided by the Columbia University Registrar's Office, as well as organizational and administrative tools for instructor use. CourseWorks is based on software called Prometheus, originally developed by the George Washington University and has since been customized extensively for the Columbia University community.
