Simple Syllabus
Simple Syllabus is a tool that replaces traditional Word and Google Doc versions of your syllabi by placing a template directly into your Canvas courses. All of the institutional and school-related parts of the template are prepopulated for you, but you will need to add course-specific information such as assignments, reading materials, AI use, etc.
