Coursedog Syllabus VS Simple Syllabus
Purpose-built for syllabus management
See why Coursedog customers choose a purpose-built platform for creating, managing, and publishing syllabi.
Focused to help you succeed
The all-in-one approach sounds good on paper. Catalogs, curriculum, scheduling, registration, syllabi, and more in one platform. In practice, that breadth can come at the expense of depth.
Simple Syllabus takes a different approach. We focus on one thing: making syllabus management better. That focus gives colleges and universities a more complete, flexible, and easy-to-use platform built to handle even complex syllabus requirements.
As the largest provider of digital syllabus technology in higher education, Simple Syllabus combines deep functionality with extensive customization and a cost-effective model.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR USERS
Usability is key
If a tool isn’t easy to use, people won’t use it. That’s where Simple Syllabus stands out. The platform is built to save faculty time, with a single-click publishing experience, automatic carry-forward of previous content, and major syllabus sections prepopulated directly from the LMS. Simple Syllabus also reduces administrative work behind the scenes. Conditional logic can automatically swap content based on rules like delivery method, campus location, program, and more, giving each course the right information without adding work for faculty or staff.
- 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.
- Customizable templates
- Configurable terminologies
- Conditional logic
- Dynamic workflows
DESIGNED FOR SYLLABUS USERS
Purpose built syllabus tool
Supporting hundreds or thousands of instructors across campuses, modalities, and terms requires a very different approach than publishing a catalog once a year. Simple Syllabus is built for that scale. It embeds directly within leading LMS platforms, giving faculty and students a familiar experience without requiring additional training. It also connects quickly with your Student Information System, with multiple integration methods supported across most major platforms. The result is a syllabus process that fits into the systems your campus already uses.
- Built for syllabus editors and users
- Embed in your LMS
- Easy for faculty and students
- Real-time API connections
