What is SAGE Catalyst?
SAGE Catalyst provides unlimited, university-wide access to over 700 premium social science textbooks with virtual collaboration, classroom discussion, and peer-to-peer learning enabled within the textbooks. It also supports your other multi-media resources – all within a single platform, powered by Talis Elevate.
Faculty can embed chapters directly into their institution’s Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) or Learning Management System (LMS), and view analytics at course, resource, and student level. This gives valuable insight into student engagement, while also providing equitable access to core texts across 10 disciplines, including business & management, research methods, education, and more.
