Overview
eCampus offers a syllabus template for instructors teaching online, which meets accessibility requirements for online courses. This post describes how to download and use the template to create your syllabus.
Step 1. Download the Template
Instructors teaching Online Asynchronous (OA), Online Synchronous (OS), and Online Blended (OB) courses should use the eCampus Syllabus Template, which is a Microsoft Word document that can be downloaded and edited.
Instructors teaching in other course modalities should refer to CETL’s page on Creating Your Syllabus for the correct template.
Step 2. Create Your Syllabus
The syllabus template contains form fields (gray) and annotations (blue) with instructions, which function best in the app/desktop version of Microsoft Word. Follow the instructions within the template to create your syllabus. When complete, delete all the annotations.
The syllabus template contains a link to the Online Course Syllabus Addendum, which includes commonly cited university policies, procedures, and resources important to student success. In the event there is a discrepancy between your syllabus and the addendum, your syllabus takes precedence.
Step 3. Host and Share Your Syllabus
Refer to Providing Syllabus Links for Online Course Listing Pages for instructions on how to host and share your syllabus with students.
