First Steps in Syllabus Creation
As you begin creating your syllabi in our new Simple Syllabus platform, we want to ensure you have clear guidance on how to access and start working on your syllabi—both directly in the Simple Syllabus site and through Canvas. Keep in mind that your syllabus will be available to edit 90 days before the start of the term.
Enable the Course Syllabus Link in Canvas
First, you’ll need to find the Course Syllabus link to access Simple Syllabus in your Canvas course navigation:
Log in to Canvas.
Within your course, find the Course Syllabus navigation link. This is the link that is connected to Simple Syllabus. Please note that the course link Syllabus is Canvas’s default syllabus area and is NOT associated with Simple Syllabus.
To avoid confusion with having two syllabus links, you may want to disable the Syllabus link and move the Course Syllabus link. To do this, go to the Settings area.
From Settings, go to the Navigation tab. From there, you can enable, disable, or move navigation links to where you want.
Click Save at the bottom to update your course navigation.
The Course Syllabus link directs you to Simple Syllabus, where you can begin editing the syllabus for that specific course. You may need to repeat this step for other courses.
