Simple Syllabus

Simple Syllabus is a centralized, template-driven platform that enables instructors to quickly personalize and publish interactive class syllabi—directly within the LMS.

This tool is available as an integration with UVACanvas and Canvas (Darden). Log into a supported LMS and add the tool to use it there.

How can Simple Syllabus enhance teaching and learning?

  • Integrated directly into Canvas, allowing instructors and students to access syllabi within their course sites.
  • Provides a consistent, easy-to-navigate template across courses while maintaining flexibility for schools and departments.
  • Allows certain components to be locked to ensure institutional information, such as policies or learning outcomes, remains consistent.
  • Automatically cascades updates to shared or institutional content across all relevant syllabi.
  • Designed to meet accessibility standards so all users can easily view and navigate syllabi content.
  • Maintains a searchable archive of past syllabi for reference and record-keeping.
  • Tracks student engagement with the syllabus to offer insight into how course materials are being accessed.
