"Making Syllabus Management Simple with Vast Customization & Fantastic Customer Support"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Simple Syllabus?

The platform gets meaningful updates all of the time. They are committed to the product and listen to their customers. The platform is straightforward enough but has quite a bit of depth too. Their customer support team and tech support is by far the best I have ever worked with. Responsive and know the system very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Simple Syllabus?

While it is rare to run into an issue, it can be pretty challenging to determine how to troubleshoot certain issues. An example would be troubleshooting connections back to a combination of data uploads from the SIS, LMS and curriculum systems. The system is capable of doing all of that, but finding a root cause of an issue can be cumbersome without an expert. Luckily, thier support team has handled that well!

What problems is Simple Syllabus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Deploying a consistent syllabus template across the institution was the main problem we wanted to solve. The previous strategy of having a Word doc template lead to lots of failed adoption. This makes it easy to track and keep things consistent for our students and instructors. That has been a big win because we now have consistent information across our syllabus library. The format is the same and the syllabi are accessible for WCAG standards. Instructors also enjoy only needing to fill out a few components instead of making new syllabi from scratch.
