Concourse Overview
Academic Affairs has moved to college-wide use of the Concourse Syllabus System embedded into the Canvas LMS. All spring 2021 syllabi should be provisioned with a template that contains up-to-date institutional policy, find a class information such as Course Description, Competencies, meeting times, and materials, as well as suggestions and guidelines for populating the remaining sections of the syllabus. These templates will be accessible via the related Canvas course for instructor editing. When the Canvas course is published, students will have immediate mobile-friendly access.
If you teach multiple sections, once you complete one syllabus, you can easily copy the editable sections into your other courses. This is the same from semester to semester you will copy the previous semester's information to the new syllabus and make the minor adjustments that may have occurred. You don't have to worry about having the most recent institutional policies because they are pre-loaded semester to semester.
It is a best practice, if you intend to cross-list your courses, or you teach in a learning community that you follow a few tips found in the FAQ document for Concourse. Please use the Concourse Troubleshooting form to communicate any feedback or issues that may arise with the use of Concourse. For general questions and feedback about Concourse Syllabus please complete the General Feedback form. |
