What's a Syllabus Good for When it Comes to Learning?
In this ILED Designcast episode, we tackle the topic of the course syllabus. Is it a contract for a transaction? Is it a permanent record? Is it a learning environment? Are there alternative formats we should consider?
In our discussion, we focus on the importance of defining the "Why" of the syllabus, as well as its potential as a learning environment that transcends the traditional written format.
