Simple Syllabus increases efficiency by leveraging frequently used content to automatically build key components of your syllabi so your faculty and staff don’t have to. These components are used to ensure consistent messaging around class scheduling, office hours, textbooks to be used, policies, instructor bios and even content sensitive to accreditation such as learning objectives and the course outline. While most templates will heavily utilize components, Simple Syllabus also helps engage content owners – giving them the ability to quickly and easily personalize their own syllabi.

For institutions requiring governance around syllabi updates, Simple Syllabus provides an approval module that automatically routes a syllabus to designated approvers. Submission evaluators will quickly see when updates have been made, who has made them, and can record notes or thoughts surrounding their decision. All activity is archived with the approval decision and easily retrieved through the reporting dashboard that helps with accreditation and assessment activities.

Simple Syllabus transforms a traditional, print or flat PDF document into a dynamic resource for students. Mobile optimization ensures all users on campus are easily able to consume the information contained within the syllabus, regardless of device used. An automatically generated shopping list gives students an aggregated list of books and materials needed for their classes next semester and even helps them find the most affordable options to purchase them. 

Simple Syllabus is dedicated to meeting the needs of all students, and adheres to the strictest of accessibility standards to make sure all students have an opportunity to succeed.
