Once on the Acadeum site, scroll down until you see the following and in the Filter Results select the Consortium dropdown box as seen highlighted below and select the CIC Online Course Sharing Consortium:
These courses can be filtered in various ways within the CIC consortium including (but not limited to) term, the Learning Management System (LMS) used (i.e., Canvas), and other useful filters.
