Simple Syllabus is the all-in-one platform for creating, managing, and publishing fully accessible syllabi that meet WCAG 2.2 AA and Title II ADA requirements.
With a built-in accessibility checker, mobile-optimized design, and seamless LMS and SIS integration, it empowers faculty to deliver consistent, compliant, and student-friendly syllabi without the extra workload.
Simple Syllabus is built for accessibility from the start. Every syllabus is structured to be readable, navigable, and inclusive across devices and assistive technologies.
Key highlights include properly nested headings for clear structure, and high contrast text for readability. ARIA labels define interactive elements, alt text supports all non-text content, and tables are captioned with correct header associations.
Accessibility isn’t an add-on. It’s built into every syllabus.
Simple Syllabus is the only syllabus solution with a fully integrated document-wide accessibility checker. As instructors create content, the platform flags issues like missing alt text, low contrast, improper headings, and inaccessible tables before syllabi go live. It’s real-time, intuitive, and requires no extra training. Compliance isn’t an afterthought. It’s built into the process.
Simple Syllabus is built to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA, the recognized benchmark for web content accessibility. These standards ensure that content is perceivable by all users, operable with assistive technologies like screen readers and keyboards, understandable through clear structure and navigation, and robust enough to work across platforms and future updates.
New ADA Title II rules require public colleges and universities to ensure all digital content meets WCAG 2.2 AA standards. Simple Syllabus helps institutions stay ahead of these requirements with a platform designed to support compliance, reduce legal risk, and deliver accessible syllabi from day one.
We provide a full Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) that details how our platform aligns with Section 508 and WCAG 2.2 AA standards. This transparency ensures your institution can confidently meet federal accessibility requirements and IT procurement policies.
