Please Note: This tutorial page will be removed January 2018. For more information on the deprecation of a number of Catalyst web tools please visit: https://itconnect.uw.edu/learn/tools/catalyst-web-tools/retirement/

We will continue to host links to Gradebook and WebQ in another location to be determined at a later time.

Catalyst is a suite of online tools provided by the University of Washington to its students and faculty as an aid in teaching, learning, and research. Many of these tools can be used in conjunction with Blackboard. Catalyst also provides a number of online computer-related tutorials and information.
