Fewer hours spent on syllabi management
System-wide content accuracy
Consistent syllabi that adhere to campus policies
Students who understand class requirements and learning outcomes
SYL’s integrated, intuitive tools let you create and manage syllabus templates that make work easier while reinforcing institutional policies. Each component can be templated; you define the contents of each template to achieve consistency and compliance across campus. This uniformity makes it easier for students to quickly understand course content and expectations.
Effectively maintain consistency while supporting hundreds of instructors with syllabi that meet their needs. With SYL, administrators can grant editing privileges to faculty who require access to documents so they can make updates and push out changes to students. To protect intellectual property, faculty can also choose to limit who has access to syllabus information.
SYL lets you create, edit, and add syllabus content through advanced integration with your student information system (SIS) and learning management system (LMS). Students can see syllabus updates and track changes as they happen.
SYL’s drag-and-drop features support easy management of topics and assignments. Automatically populate class dates and institutional holidays to ensure accuracy while allowing faculty to copy assignments and information from previous terms into new calendars. If dates change in new terms, SYL will automatically adjust the dates throughout the document.
Give students a personalized online experience as they collect and reference syllabi from current and previous courses. SYL’s mobile-friendly viewing means they can refer back to the information they need at any time, no matter where they are.
As state legislatures increasingly mandate the public availability of course syllabi, higher education institutions face the challenge of ensuring compliance and transparency while maintaining operational efficiency and protecting faculty content. To address these requirements, CourseLeaf SYL offers features that make compliance easy across campus.
