- Can the online syllabus be converted/plotted to PDF format?
Yes! There is an option to "Print" the syllabi which will give you the PDF version. - Can the Course Schedule be attached to the syllabus afterwards?
No, the schedule for the course is part of the syllabus template and can be added to or revised until the lockdown date. - Can the template include the school logo in addition to the KPU logo?
We are working to include the logos for both faculty and KPU on the template. - Will the template remain open for edit? Is it possible to have a section for syllabi that does not get locked down? (Some are concerned about having space to note down unanticipated changes such as snow days etc.)
The template will be locked for editing after a deadline to ensure student have all the necessary syllabus information at the beginning of their courses. The deadline and specifications will be communicated to faculty later. - Is there an easy method to send the syllabi to students through the dashboard (some departments do not use Moodle)?
Once a syllabus is submitted by instructors and officially complete, students can view the syllabi in either Moodle or in Simple directly. - Could we get a list or demo of what is available to admins?
Faculty will be provided with a training and demo of Simple Syllabus during the rollout phase. - Can Simple Syllabus be sent out as PDFs?
Yes, they can be exported and shared as PDF. - Is learning outcomes included in the Syllabus?
We are working to include learning outcomes within the syllabus template. - What will the integration be like with Moodle?
There will be a Simple Syllabus button in Moodle that links the user to the syllabus for that specific course. Users can also access it directly from their Simple Syllabus dashboard. - KPU grading system – will this be incorporated into the new syllabus?
Yes, the grading table will be included on the template.
