"I am extremely thankful for the calendar sync feature in Concourse. Instead of trying managing and transfer all of my exams and assignments from multiple syllabi to one calendar, I was able to consolidate all the important dates and course information into my personal online calendar automatically by adding the Concourse URL."

Instructors

"I found the modular creation and editing of Concourse syllabi to be intuitive and user friendly. In the same way a clean sheet of paper is a blank slate, it was apparent that Concourse would allow me to build syllabi to suit my needs. The end result would be the same as my old fashioned syllabus, but with the added benefit of being able to attach files and reuse content dynamically."

"Entries were fairly easy and straight-forward. In my case, I had nearly all the info in some other form, so copy/paste worked well. So far, so good."

Technology Administrators

"We needed a sustainable solution that didn't require extensive development, testing, and maintenance. We didn't want to be in the business of creating and hosting syllabus software and needed to find a vendor with a technology as robust as their expertise in understanding syllabus management. Concourse has allowed our IT department to continue focusing on deploying and supporting the best solutions to ensure teaching and learning excellence."

"Concourse is a cutting edge technology from a young company, and it’s working out to be a significant leap forward in the management of syllabi at NIC."

"We had the task of creating an entirely new system to centrally manage syllabi for the business school. Ideally, the business school wanted a syllabus tool that gave administrators the ability to easily search, approve, and report; assessment and accreditation were the key motivators. We did develop a system, but it was not one that we could put our faith into."

Academic Administrators

"eLearning and IT have provided North Idaho College with an authenticated, standardized 14 Syllabus Builder to Concourse| North Idaho College syllabus creation and archival solution, and they did so in less than 30 days."

"Our method included Word templates, email collection, and hardcopy syllabus archival. This provided a large portion of the necessary information, but proved to be too cumbersome. We needed a tool that could alleviate the administrative and faculty burden of managing our syllabi and provide for better organization of the underlying data."

"We have been using syllabi for advisement for a long time, Concourse not only satisfies the needs of our school, but fellow Deans are excited about the possibilities that exist for their schools as well."

"More than 60 courses across Rensselaer's curriculum now include an entrepreneurial component. In addition to the teaching tools we offer to faculty to complement their offerings, Concourse is another enabling tool that is helping to organize and functionalize our online Course Finder search engine."
