Create a compelling syllabus that your students will want to read.
A course syllabus describes what is being taught, who is teaching it, why it is important, how learners are evaluated, and how to succeed. The syllabus communicates essential information, yet students often give it no more than a cursory glance. Instructors can use strategies to make students read the syllabus more closely, but we can also provide them with a more engaging syllabus.
This 3-hour professional development course introduces simple visual communication and document design principles to help instructors create a syllabus that is more inviting and accessible. Participants will learn techniques for effectively combining text with images, apply those techniques to their own syllabus, and draft a revised syllabus using visual content creation tools.
