Creating Dynamic, Visually Appealing Syllabi

Moakley Auditorium

This session will encourage participants to consider using graphics, tables, charts, and other visually-oriented features in a syllabus. Using Microsoft Word and importing newsletter templates, this session seeks to envision the syllabus as living, breathing document that students will want to read. These syllabi entice students in any classroom context, face-to-face, flipped, hybrid, or fully online, because they increase readability and boost student retention. Bring a Sample Syllabus.
