The paper syllabus in a virtual world
Online Syllabi
A cornerstone of education delivery, the syllabus has been the standard for course organization for the better part of the last century. A part of virtually every course, this time-tested document has seen little change, as almost every other classroom tool has been updated for the digital revolution. The syllabi of today are dynamic, living documents. That means that paper cannot capture all of the ebbs and flows of the class without being reprinted numerous times. And in its paper form, students cannot access this document at anytime or from anywhere, a prominent expectation of the 21st century learner.
Using an online syllabus system, such as Concourse, you can bring your syllabus into the 21st century. An online syllabus not only reduces paper waste, but allows instructors to collaboratively create and maintain syllabi like never before. Students can access the latest syllabus anywhere, anytime. By embedding links within this "rich syllabus", students can get to content faster. Standard formatting is coupled with customized syllabus design, creating the perfect blend of flexibility, structure, and consistency. An online syllabus can be previewed by those who have yet to enroll in the course, meaning that students make better decisions during course selection and arrive the first day with the right expectations.
