CourseWork Integrated with Stanford Syllabus

Web View | Print View

by Julie Mai

Stanford Syllabus was released to the Stanford community in Fall 2006. Conceived by the Committee on Undergraduate Standards and Policy (C-USP), funded by the Provost's Office, and developed by Academic Computing, the goal of the standalone Stanford Syllabus application is to provide a centralized online repository of syllabi for Stanford University courses. Since Fall 2006, over 1,700 syllabi have been uploaded to Stanford Syllabus.

Beginning March 7, 2008, upgrades to the Stanford Syllabus application and CourseWork v5's Syllabus Tool were released. Using these upgraded versions instructors will be able to post their syllabus once (in either system) and have it available to students in both systems. The syllabus item can be a URL, a file, or inline text. Any revisions to the syllabus after it has been uploaded can be done in either CourseWork v5 or Stanford Syllabus and the changes will be reflected in both systems.
