Syllabi Policy

Faculty must create syllabi using Simple Syllabus.
A copy of the syllabus must be uploaded to Moodle by the first day of the semester for each course you are teaching.
Your syllabus must be accessible! Find out how to make sure your syllabus is accessible by following these steps (presented in the accordion below).

Accessible Syllabi Steps

A similar template for accessible PowerPoints is forthcoming.

In fact, build your course content directly into your Moodle shell using its page functions.

That is, rather than uploading a document to Moodle, create a Moodle page and then use the Accessibility checker.

If you are unsure of accessibility, you can:

Use the Style Sheeting in Microsoft or Adobe along with the “Check Accessibility” tool.
Avoid using color for emphasis. Instead, use bold or italic formats.
Use Moodle pages for content.
Send a Helpdesk ticket if you need assistance or want someone to give you feedback.

This transition will require learning, effort and patience from all of us. I thank you in advance for your efforts!
