State of Ohio in light blue and the states of Florida, Texas, and Utah in navy blue

This isn't our first rodeo

Dozens of clients in Texas, Florida, and Utah depend on Concourse to help them address syllabus mandates in their states, some for over a decade. While every state is different, Ohio's new rules closely mirror those other states have enacted. Concourse's feature set has been developed with those requirements in mind to give them - and you - everything you need.

Two options for your journey to compliance:

Option 1: Concourse Starter

Concourse Starter is your first step to organize syllabi online without additional investment in IT infrastructure or administrative services. Instructors continue authoring Word or PDF files, which they then upload directly through the LMS. From there they can be viewed by students, checked by administrators, and discovered by the community.

Our gateway to syllabus management done right provides significant benefits, including:
A public-facing repository of all syllabi
Content search for keywords and phrases
Integration with your LMS and SIS
Meaningful reporting tools
A lighter lift for IT and a smooth transition for faculty

Option 2: Concourse Syllabus

Concourse Syllabus is a template-based syllabus management solution that provides your students, faculty, and administrators a consistent and centralized syllabus experience. Our full syllabus management system will help you transform your syllabus management process and ensure your syllabi meet all of the requirements of this new law. 

Our full syllabus management system has all of the features of Starter, plus:
Tiered templates for institutional and course information
An intuitive and familiar syllabus editing interface
Content migration from existing systems
More powerful reporting and search features
Full WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility compliance

What our Ohio clients are saying

"I had the pleasure of working with the Concourse Syllabus Management team for our adoption project at Central Ohio Technical College, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. This has been one of the smoothest (and relatively painless) tech adoptions I’ve been through in recent memory. Overall, the Intellidemia group exceeded our expectations, and we are very pleased with the results.”
