Call for Submissions of Exemplary Syllabi for the Pedagogical Use of Technology

The Office of Teaching Resources in Psychology invites submissions of syllabi of psychology courses that meet best practices for syllabus design. Syllabi will be evaluated using the following categories:

1. Teaching methods and student engagement
2. Learner support and resources
3. Assessment and evaluation of student learning
4. Course design goals and learning objectives
5. Syllabus organization and design

As of March 2017, all syllabi will be reviewed using the revised rubric (PDF). Please note that syllabi must now be submitted as Word documents. This rubric was developed by a committee of project syllabus reviewers, based on the Rubric for Online Instruction developed by Chico State University (http://www.csuchico.edu/eoi/) as well as a variety of other sources (view list of references here).

When submitting a syllabus for posting in Project Syllabus, remember that all resources must be the original work of an author, must not contain any libelous or unlawful statements, and must not infringe on the rights of others. In addition, resources that might meet "fair use" guidelines in a single class cannot necessarily be posted on our website because of copyright restrictions on reposting without explicit permission from the copyright holder. This includes using material from textbook instructors' manuals, cartoons or other images seen on the Internet or in magazines, sections of the APA Publication Manual, etc.
