Jumpstart pedagogy
Leverage instructional support software designed for the modern classroom with Simple Syllabus
Building better syllabi together
Finding new ways to innovate pedagogy and better engage students is critical to any institution’s commitment to continuous improvement. The syllabi present a unique opportunity for campus stakeholders to have a constructive discussion on teaching and new ways for staff to provide ongoing impactful support. With nearly 90% of students accessing syllabi throughout the semester, this is also a great way for instructors to improve communication through effective course design.
Simple Syllabus is a centralized, template-driven platform that creates a collaborative environment between instructors, instructional designers, and other institutional support staff. Easy to use and intuitive, the administrative template builder enables users to quickly define required or suggested content for syllabi that instructors can leverage to save time. Provide direct support throughout the entire syllabus design process by actually creating content for instructors or simply providing guidance through inline help resources such as text-based instructions, videos, and more. Simple Syllabus is incredibly flexible and specifically designed to meet the needs of your institution’s organizational culture.
Advanced reporting and diagnostic tools can help you identify potential departments to engage or individual instructors that may need help.
Template Time
Focused on impact
Our product facilitates an environment of teaching innovation. Leveraging templates, Simple Syllabus frees Instructional Designers and Instructors from having to memorize or maintain every campus policy. Instead, institutional updates from the Provost’s Office, School/Department Dean, Faculty Senate, or Curriculum Committee are automatically amended within each syllabus, ensuring consistency of information, so your team can focus on what matters most—student learning. No more worrying about compliance and long governance processes.
