How can I create and edit my Syllabus?

CourseLeaf is our syllabus creation and management system at Kirkwood. The system loads common sections and language to all syllabi at the college. Instructors edit some sections in the template with their own information related to the course. A link to the syllabus is automatically added to your Talon course for students 21 days prior to the open date set on the course.

Step by step tutorials are available in the Creating a Learner Centered Syllabus section of the Kirkwood Faculty Training guide. There are also video tutorials available.
