Step by Step
- To start, open your course in Canvas.
- Ensure that you are on the home page of your course.
- Select Simple Syllabus from the nav bar at the top.
Faculty teaching from a Standard Course can copy the syllabus by using the Import tool on the left Navigation Bar.
Once there, you will want to select "Development" to import the Standard Syllabus into your course.
You should import the entire syllabus from the related course standard and then edit the information that is specific to you and the course that you are teaching.
Some edits to consider are:
- Ensuring that Respondus LockDown is toggled off unless you are using it.
- Ensuring that the 3rd Party Platform under Technology Requirement and Policy is filled in
- MyCourses schedule dates can be used by the instructor, but they may be toggled off if not being used
- As an option, Course Assignment Schedule may be provided by the instructor
- As an option, Communication Plan may be provided by the instructor
In Simple Syllabus, anyone can find anyone else’s syllabi by using the Import tool (unless the privacy is set to only students in that class). Faculty can import an entire syllabus or select specific components to import. The copy tool (“Replace with a different syllabus?) is isolated to just that individual’s personal syllabi. To import another instructor's syllabus, type their name into the instructor field.
