Inform students without leaving your syllabus
Virtually everytime you make a modification to the syllabus, you update the document, post the latest version on your course site, and email your students about the change. Not only does this waste time, but it leads to inconsistencies within documentation and student expectations, should some of these steps - as they often are - be left out.
With Concourse, these three steps are combined seamlessly into one. Everytime you make a modification to your syllabus, you are presented with the option to automatically notify your class about the update. This message, which can be customized, will then be emailed to the class and point them directly to the place on the syllabus where the change took place. Need to push back a due date? Just make the change and let everyone know instantly what happened without ever leaving your syllabus editor.
