Syllabus Library
The Syllabus Library gives school administrators a read-only view of all syllabuses that have been made available to your school. Think of it as your school’s curated content catalog — every syllabus here is ready to be explored and assigned.
What is a Syllabus?
A syllabus is the structured backbone of a course. It organizes learning content into sequential units, each containing activities — interactive exercises, reading materials, assessments, and more. Each syllabus comes with:
- Course Units — logical groupings of related learning activities
- Learning Activities — the actual lessons students engage with (readings, quizzes, exercises)
- Learning Objectives — clearly defined goals students should achieve
- Estimated Duration — time estimates for each activity and unit
- Quiz Settings — pre-configured assessment types (Multiple Choice, True/False, Fill in the Blank, etc.)
How Syllabuses Appear in Your Library
Syllabuses can reach your school’s library through two sources:
1. Added by a Linked Curriculum Designer
If your school is connected to a Curriculum Designer (CD), that CD can publish syllabuses directly to your school’s library. This is the primary way schools receive custom or tailored content — the CD builds the syllabus on their end and makes it available specifically to your school.
2. Through a Purchased Product
Syllabuses can also be bundled inside products available on the Products Marketplace. When your school purchases a product, all syllabuses included in that product are automatically added to your library.
Browsing the Syllabus List
Navigate to Content → Syllabus Library from the left sidebar to access your list.
The table displays all syllabuses available to your school, filtered to only show content from products your school has purchased. Each row shows:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | The name of the syllabus |
| Subject | The subject area (e.g., Language, Math, Science) |
| Grade Level | The intended grade level |
| Units | Total number of units in the syllabus |
| Actions | Available actions for that syllabus |
Note: If you expect to see a syllabus that isn’t listed, it either belongs to a product your school hasn’t purchased yet, or it hasn’t been published to your school by your linked Curriculum Designer. Check with your CD or visit the Products Marketplace to explore available content.
Viewing a Syllabus
Click the View button on any syllabus row to open its detail page. Here you’ll find:
Course Units
All units are listed in order. Each unit shows:
- The unit number and name
- Number of activities inside
- Total estimated time for that unit
Click on any unit row to expand it and reveal the activities it contains.
Activity Cards
Each activity inside a unit displays:
- Activity title and description
- Estimated duration
- A View button to open the activity preview
Summary Stats
At the bottom of the syllabus view, three summary cards give you a quick snapshot:
| Stat | What it means |
|---|---|
| Total Progress | Aggregate completion percentage across all units |
| Mastery Points | Points earned out of the total possible for this syllabus |
| Time Required | Total estimated time to complete the syllabus, plus last session info |
Previewing an Activity
Clicking View on an activity opens a preview dialog. This preview has two modes so administrators and teachers can experience the content from both perspectives.
Teacher View (Default)
The dialog opens in Teacher View by default — this is how a teacher sees and manages the activity. The Teacher View includes:
- Activity metadata — tags for subject, grade level, activity type, and duration
- Overview tab
- Learning Objectives — the specific skills or knowledge students are expected to gain
- Activity Details — duration, subject, grade level, and activity type
- Quiz Settings — breakdown of question types (Checkbox, Multiple Choice, True/False, Fill in the Blank) and settings like immediate feedback and hint availability
- Content tab — the actual reading material or lesson content students will engage with
- Resources tab — any supplementary materials attached to the activity
Student View
Use the toggle button (top-right of the preview dialog) to switch to Student View — this is exactly what a student sees when they open the activity. The Student View renders:
- The reading content as a formatted article
- Quiz questions presented one by one, exactly as students will interact with them (e.g., multiple choice options labeled A, B, C…)
Switch back to Teacher View at any time using the same toggle button.
Tip: Use the Student View to quality-check how content appears to learners before assigning a course that uses this syllabus to a class.
Next Steps
