Syllabus Management

Structured

On the surface it looks just like a paper syllabus, but under the hood, Concourse is a repository. Breaking the syllabus into its already standard categories is the magic that makes reporting, search, and calendar sync possible.

Freeform

Take all of your existing syllabi in their current format and easily upload them to Concourse Lite. Call us, and in a matter of hours you will have a powerful, fully deployed syllabus tool working for you. Simply put, welcome to more syllabus management with less time, money, and technology.

Edit

What is there to say? Making changes to your syllabus is as easy as editing your syllabus in MS Word, maybe even easier.
