Where Tech and Teaching Meet
Welcome to Clemson Online! We provide expertise and personalized support to the faculty and staff of Clemson University. Both our online development and learning technology teams are united by a goal to create and sustain unique learning opportunities and environments where tech and teaching meet.
New: Simple Syllabus for Fall 2025
Starting in the Fall semester, instructors will submit their syllabi to the new Simple Syllabus repository. Additionally, Simple Syllabus will be required in all Canvas course sites.
Simple Syllabus is centralized syllabus management system for educators designed to simplify course planning and ensure compliance with university policies. This tool provides structured templates that make syllabus creation more efficient while maintaining consistency across multiple courses. Integrated directly with Canvas, Simple Syllabus allows students to access the most up-to-date version of their syllabus without searching through multiple files.
See our intro to Simple Syllabus video and Instructor Guide at our Tools Page.
