Press Release

TAMPA, FL – 

Jan 13, 2026

Simple Higher Ed has announced the release of Prep Step, a new feature inside Simple Prep that gives institutions a faster, clearer way to review course readiness. Prep Step delivers a clean guided workflow that surfaces real LMS content at each step, helping teams confirm readiness with instant context and far fewer clicks.

Prep Step is designed to eliminate the time consuming navigation typically required inside an LMS and other learning tools. Instead of digging through modules, menus, and folders, reviewers move through a simple ordered sequence that displays the exact content required for each check. This creates a more consistent and reliable course review process for instructional design teams, accreditation and compliance staff, and academic leaders across campus.

Prep Step gives institutions a powerful yet simple way to see what is really happening inside their courses. Higher ed teams should not have to click through dozens of screens just to verify readiness. Prep Step removes that friction and brings real course content straight to the reviewer, giving them faster insight and better information to support quality learning.

Wes Miller, CEO of Simple Higher Ed

Prep Step is fully integrated into Simple Prep and pulls live content directly from the institution’s LMS. It presents each requirement in a guided step by step flow with clear pass or fail indicators. Reviewers can expand any step to view the related course materials, see issues instantly, and pinpoint exactly what needs to be updated before a course is ready.

Prep Step provides institutions with a more confident and efficient approach to reviewing course quality. It is now available to all Simple Prep customers.
