Standardization and academic freedom are often painted as opposing forces in higher education, and syllabi can take a central role in this perceived struggle. Accreditors want to see consistency in things like descriptions and course outcomes. Faculty need the ability to shape their courses based on their experience and expertise. But what if you can have both? Join Ryan Faulkner to learn about the College of Eastern Idaho’s journey towards more consistent syllabi with Concourse. Hear how centralizing core components leaves more time for faculty to focus on shaping their parts of the syllabus.

Accessibility is truly that rising tide that lifts all boats, as efforts to make courses more accessible for students with disabilities positively impact all students. And an accessible course has to start with an accessible syllabus. In its role as the roadmap for success, the syllabus is the core document that lays the foundation for student retention and completion in the course. Join us for this illuminating webinar to discover how Concourse Syllabus helps users create syllabi that are organized, clear, inviting - and accessible to EVERY student.

Parkland College adopted Concourse Syllabus with a number of goals in mind: standardization, consistency, ease of access, and improving persistence and promotion, among others. In addition to those benefits, what they found was that Concourse turned a time-consuming manual process into a smooth, efficient workflow that almost runs itself. Join Amy Frasca of Parkland College to learn how they leverage Concourse’s integration options and tiered template structure to save time and effort for everyone involved in syllabus management.

Concourse Syllabus is designed with every institution in mind, but some of its benefits are magnified for technical and community colleges. Large adjunct populations, higher faculty course loads, and smaller teams managing software are not unique to community colleges, but may be more commonly found there, and Concourse has features that address them all. Join Rebecca Roth of Greenville Technical College in Greenville, SC for a discussion of these benefits and the impact Concourse has had at GTC.
