Simple Syllabus is a centralized syllabus management tool that helps faculty create consistent accessible course syllabi. Integrated with Brightspace, it allows instructors to build syllabi directly within their courses, ensuring alignment with institutional standards and policies. Students benefit from having all course expectations, schedules, and resources in one place, improving clarity and engagement. 

Recent enhancements include a built-in accessibility checker that ensures syllabi meet accessibility standards before publishing. The platform also offers real-time syncing with Brightspace, allowing instructors to import assignments, quizzes, events, and keep them aligned with the gradebook without extra steps. All syllabi are stored in a searchable repository, giving faculty and students quick access to course information whenever they need it. 

With these features, Simple Syllabus ensures every course meets academic and accreditation requirements. Combined with Brightspace integration, it provides a streamlined experience for both instructors and students.
