Concourse (the new e-syllabus) is HERE!
Starting this fall, all syllabi will be completed online using a new tool called Concourse. This tool is far easier to use than the previous e-syllabus tool, and training will be available for all faculty is available online.
Here's some more good news:
- Concourse is easy to use. (Really.)
- Much of the syllabus information is uploaded from Banner.
- College-specific and department-specific information will be preloaded by academic admins such as chairs, coordinators, and department schedulers.
- You can easily copy and paste information from a Word document.
- You can load your contact info and c.v. to your profile and then add it to your syllabus with a single click.
- You can easily copy from one syllabus to another.
- To get started, please log into ACES, click the Employee tab, and look for the links to Enter Concourse and for the Intro to Concourse Training in the upper right corner.
I have also developed a very similar training guide specifically for NVC faculty. It contains the same information but just a few more NVC-specific resources and examples. It is a public course available on the Soft Chalk Cloud: https://www.softchalkcloud.com/lesson/serve/BEF1SCdYIDy8U9/html
