Description —
Simple Syllabus helps instructors to quickly and easily create, personalize and publish interactive class syllabi. When using Simple Syllabus, instructors can use templates and auto-populated language that meets standards outlined by their academic unit and KU’s Syllabus Policy.
Instructors can add images, audio and video to a syllabus, and Simple Syllabus streamlines syncing Canvas assignment information, such as due dates, into the syllabus.
Much of the necessary course information, such as course titles, numbers, descriptions and meeting time/days, is automatically pre-populated into syllabi templates from centrally managed systems, so instructors don't have to find, copy and paste the relevant information.

Instructors can access Simple Syllabus within Canvas or directly through the Simple Syllabus Portal.
