UNDERSTANDING YOUR USERS
Usability is key
If a tool isn’t easy to use, campus stakeholders won’t use it. That’s where Simple Syllabus stands apart from Concourse. The platform is intuitive and built from the ground up to save faculty time, including a single-click publishing experience. Simple Syllabus also does much of the work for users by carrying forward previous content and prepopulating major sections of the syllabus directly from the LMS. Conditional logic further reduces administrative workload by automatically displaying the right content based on predefined rules such as delivery method, campus location, and more.
