A smarter syllabus tool
Find out why schools overwhelmingly choose Simple Syllabus over Watermark's Smart Catalog for syllabus technology
Focused to help you succeed
While some companies promise an all-encompassing miracle solution—single-source solution for assessment, accreditation, faculty credentialing, curriculum, catalog, and even syllabus management—this strategy often translates to software that barely meets even the most basic institutional requirements in an area.
Simple Syllabus is philosophically committed to a very different approach to delivering the most feature-complete, easy-to-use syllabus management platform. We designed our platform with syllabus management as the sole priority, and that focus brings a suite of features that support even the most complex institutional requirements. 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 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 setup and is entirely built upon the Learning Interoperability Standard (LTI) and API's, ensuring ongoing stability and compatibility. Connections with your Student Information System can be deployed quickly as well, with multiple communication methods supported on most major commercially available platforms.
