Syllabus Standardization Without the Sacrifice

Presented by: Ryan Faulkner, College of Eastern Idaho
Thursday, November 7th, 2024 at 2 pm ET

Standardization and academic freedom are often painted as opposing forces in higher education, and syllabi can take a central role in this perceived struggle. Accreditors want to see consistency in things like descriptions and course outcomes. Faculty need the ability to shape their courses based on their experience and expertise. But what if you can have both? Join Ryan Faulkner to learn about the College of Eastern Idaho’s journey towards more consistent syllabi with Concourse.  You’ll hear how centralizing core components leaves more time for faculty to focus on shaping their parts of the syllabus - a win for both standardization AND freedom.

Join Rebecca Roth of Greenville Technical College in Greenville, SC for a discussion of these benefits and the impact Concourse has had at GTC.
