What is its purpose?

Simple Syllabus is a centralized, template-driven platform that allows instructors to easily customize and publish interactive class syllabi, ultimately saving time and budget and reducing frustration across the entire campus. The application takes a unique approach by combining established institutional data, including policies, learning objectives, and course section content, eliminating the need for staff to input them manually.

On the administrative end, Simple Syllabus offers a user-friendly and immediate template builder, allowing you to swiftly define the necessary informational sections, structure, and design of your institution's syllabi while granting the faculty the autonomy to personalize content for their particular classroom needs. The standardized data built into the entire institution's syllabi, such as policies, save time and ensure consistency over the campus, particularly when updates are required.

Simple Syllabus simplifies the retrieval of institutions' syllabi for compliance purposes by relying on a centralized repository that archives all campus syllabi and their underlying data to support extensive reporting capabilities for accreditation.
