Using a Graphic Syllabus to Engage Students √ §

How can we use the syllabus to engage and guide students in a course, especially online? In the syllabus we strive to communicate our philosophy, pedagogy, and path for student learning and simultaneously share practical logistics, requirements, and resources. The graphic syllabus can be a dramatic and effective way to communicate these ideas to students, especially in online courses. In this session, we will provide an overview of ways to capture key elements of the syllabus in visual form and share examples. Whether you have a full graphic syllabus or have used graphics to enhance a small portion of your syllabus, we invite you to bring your examples to share with your colleagues.
