Using Interactive Syllabi to Engage Students from the Start!

joomag example from Dr. Michael Angilletta In this week's TeachT@lk Webinar we discussed the benefits of redesigning your syllabus to get students interested in the course from the first day. We shared the requirements of the traditional syllabus, and what Syllabus "Bloat" is. We showed how to create interactive elements with hyperlinks, videos, images and visual layouts that highlight important information to students. We demoed examples in technologies ranging from the simple PDF file, to the more complex Joomag. We shared templates from CLAS and Digication that help make the transition a bit easier for busy faculty. We even spent some time sharing syllabi and giving input on how to make them better!
