A commonly asked question by faculty is where to post their course syllabus. There are two options.

When designing your course you can make a Syllabus button instead of "Course Information" button. To do this:

  • Click on the Control Panel button on the left.
  • Under "Course Options", click on Course Settings.
  • Click Area Availability
  • On 4)Course Documents, use the drop down arrow and choose "Syllabus".

As the second option, you can keep the "Course Information" button on the left and add Syllabus as a separate folder or .html file in that section. To do this:

  • Click on Control Panel on the left.
  • Under "Content Areas", click on Course Documents and add your folder.

If you choose the later, "Course Documents" could also include:

  • Grading Policies
  • Office Hour Schedule
  • Discussion Leader Schedule
  • Frequently Asked Questions
  • Exam and Quiz Schedule

 

In your course syllabus you might want to include:

  • Background for the class
  • Required Texts and where to purchase them
  • Course Introduction
  • Design of the Course
  • Assignments
  • Chats and Discussions
  • Papers
  • Projects
  • Quizes and Tests
