Syllabus Search & Preview
Create a basecamp for everything related to the syllabus from keyword search to course registration. When you move syllabi from email, paper, and shared drives to Concourse, students have easy access to the most-up-to-date course information, anytime, anyplace.
The more a student knows about course requirements and content, the better able they are to make informed decisions about their education and the more likely they are to succeed. Typically, course exploration includes only course titles and catalog descriptions. Concourse crawls through the syllabus in its entirety, providing students and advisors with more relevant and comprehensive results. Students aren't the only ones who benefit. Discover how everyone in the academic community benefits from online syllabus management.
