Modern syllabus management
Learn why over 75 Modern Campus customers choose Simple Syllabus to publish and manage their syllabi
Focused to help you succeed
Simple Syllabus isn’t a rebranded add-on—it’s a modern, purpose-built platform designed from the ground up to do one thing exceptionally well: manage syllabi across your institution.
Every feature, workflow, and integration reflects our sole focus on syllabus management, making the platform intuitive, flexible, and fully aligned with the real needs of higher education. Unlike the recent combined solution offered through the Modern Campus and Concourse partnership, Simple Syllabus was engineered specifically for this purpose—no compromises, no bolt-ons.
With seamless compatibility alongside tools like Acalog and Curriculog, Simple Syllabus complements the Modern Campus ecosystem while delivering a level of depth and configurability others can’t match.
As the leading provider of digital syllabus technology in higher education, we offer unmatched experience, faster implementation, and a better overall value. See the difference a truly purpose-built platform makes.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR USERS
Usability is key
If a tool isn’t easy to use, campus stakeholders won’t use it—plain and simple. That’s where Simple Syllabus stands apart. Unlike white-labeled alternatives like the Concourse partnership with Modern Campus, our platform is purpose-built for intuitive syllabus management and designed to save faculty time.
With single-click publishing, smart content carry-forward, LMS-driven pre population, and conditional logic that dynamically adjusts content by delivery method or campus, Simple Syllabus does the heavy lifting—so your users don’t have to.
It’s intuitive, powerful, and built for how higher ed actually works.
- Single page editing experience
- Seamlessly integrated
- Eliminate dual entry
- Intuitive design
Highly configurable
Personalized to you
Simple Syllabus is built to reflect what makes your institution unique. With an intuitive drag-and-drop administrative interface, non-technical users can fully configure the platform—no IT ticket required.
From custom templates and workflows to institution-specific terminology, every part of the experience is designed around you. During implementation, our expert team helps tailor the platform to your needs—ensuring it works now and adapts as you grow.
Unlike rigid tools like the Modern Campus + Concourse offering, Simple Syllabus delivers true configurability that fits your institution—not the other way around.
- Customizable templates
- Configurable terminologies
- Conditional logic
- Dynamic workflows
DESIGNED FOR SYLLABUS USERS
Purpose built syllabus tool
Supporting thousands of instructors and courses each term—across multiple campuses and modalities—requires more than a repurposed catalog solution. Unlike tools originally designed for once-a-year publishing in the Registrar’s office, like those from Modern Campus, Simple Syllabus is purpose-built for high-volume, semester-based syllabus publishing.
Fully embedded in major LMS platforms, our tool requires no additional training for faculty or students. Seamless SIS integration and support for multiple communication methods mean you can launch quickly and scale effortlessly.
- Built for syllabus editors and users
- Embed in your LMS
- Easy for faculty and students
- Real-time API connections
YOUR PARTNER FOR SUCCESS
The syllabus experts
With more syllabus implementations than all other vendors combined, our team brings unmatched experience to every project. Unlike generalist vendors like Modern Campus, we focus on syllabus management—it’s what we do best.
Your Simple Syllabus team will include former educators, higher ed professionals, and technical experts, all aligned around one goal: making your institution successful with syllabi. Each implementation is cross-functional and tailored, ensuring you get the right mix of expertise for your specific needs.
THE SYLLABUS MANAGEMENT MARKET LEADER
Simple Syllabus vs. Concourse
While Concourse has long been available, its recent partnership with Modern Campus introduces a new bundled option—but one that may add cost without significantly expanding capability. Institutions choose Simple Syllabus 5 to 1 over Concourse because we’ve taken a more streamlined approach: building strong, direct integrations with partners products while keeping our platform flexible, intuitive, and cost-effective. The result is a solution that’s easier to use, quicker to deploy, and better aligned with the needs of your institution.
- Flexible, Not Bundled
- Fast, Seamless Integration
- Faculty-Friendly Design
- Cost-Effective Scalability
