A simpler approach to syllabi
Schools choose Simple Syllabus over Concourse Syllabus at a rate of nearly 4X—find out why.
What a market leader looks like
Launched nearly 10 years after Concourse Syllabus, Simple Syllabus was developed to address a need shared by many colleges and universities—there was no easy-to-use tool for publishing class syllabi. Now entering our 6th year in business, Simple Syllabus is the largest provider of syllabus technology in the US and abroad, our solution is chosen nearly 4X as often as Intellidemia’s Concourse Syllabus.
Since our first day in business, our team has focused on listening to the higher ed community to continually build a solution that speaks directly to a school’s challenges. As a result, our solution is easier to use, more configurable, and best of all, continues to get better every day. As the largest provider of digital syllabus technology in higher education, Simple Syllabus gives your institution an easy-to-use platform that is highly customizable and cost effective. Don’t just take our word—check out the differences in a demonstration.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR USERS
Usability is key
If a tool isn’t easy to use, campus stakeholders won’t use it—this is where Simple Syllabus really excels. The Simple Syllabus platform is intuitive and designed from the ground up to save faculty time with the only single-click interface for syllabus publishing. It’s also smart, doing the heavy lifting for your users such as carrying forward their previous content and prepopulating major sections of the syllabus—directly from the LMS. Furthermore, our conditional logic feature drastically reduces administrative workload and dynamically swaps out syllabus content based on a predetermined set of rules, such as delivery method, campus location, and more.
- Single page editing experience
- Seamlessly integrated
- Eliminate dual entry
- Intuitive design
Highly configurable
Personalized to you
Simple Syllabus has the flexibility to support what makes your institution, well, your institution. Through a simple click-and-drag administrative interface, non-technical users can control everything about your site. Users can design templates across campus using personalized terminology and workflows, so the software works exactly the way you need it to work. During implementation, our team of experts will help you configure the solution. The configurability of the Simple Syllabus platform ensures it meets your needs now and into the future.

Seamless integrations
The friendly application
Simple Syllabus can talk—with other applications that is. Integration with higher education’s leading LMS providers normally takes less than 30 minutes to set up and uses the Learning Interoperability Standard (LTI) and API's. Additionally, connections with your Student Information System can be deployed quickly, with multiple communication methods supported on most major commercially available platforms. With Simple Syllabus, integration really means integration—your syllabi can be updated in near real time to reflect changes to data across campus.
