Simple Syllabus is a centralized, template-driven platform that enables instructors to quickly personalize and publish interactive class syllabi—saving your entire campus time, budget, and frustration. This unique approach pulls together established institutional data such as policies, learning objectives, and course section content so faculty don’t have to. Simple Syllabus will replace UTSA’s Bluebook platform in Fall 2023.
Simple Syllabus can be utilized by any faculty teaching in the Spring and Summer 2023 semesters. Once inside Simple Syllabus, you’ll find many of the universities required policies, statements, and course information has already been populated for you.
Easy import allows you to copy content from one syllabus to another without formatting issues. Simple Syllabus will notice when you’ve taught a course before and import your last syllabus.
Focus on your content. Any necessary university policies or required statements will automatically be populated in your Simple Syllabus. Colleges and departments can reach out to our team to add additional information that will automatically be included across all course sections.
Track student engagement by showing you which students have viewed your syllabi, how much was read, and how many visits have been made.
