Digital Syllabus is a Web-based service designed to provide a single space for students and instructors to view, organize, and manage course information and related links. It offers a structured framework in which to display events, tasks and resources commonly associated with a course plan for the digital age -- one that taps the hyperlinked and data-driven potential of the World Wide Web in an interactive way.
Conceived as a set of form-based wizard pages (designed to collect information from all members of a course instruction team) and display pages (designed to broadcast information to students and instructors alike), Digital Syllabus provides a customized view of each user’s course load. It combines data manipulation and visualization techniques such as selective filtering, color-coding, and column sorting to provide simple answers to specific questions while maintaining a “big picture” viewpoint.
