Purdue Invites All Faculty and Instructors to Participate in Syllabus Management Tool Evaluation 

Purdue University has closed the bid solicitation for a system-wide syllabus management tool — a key milestone in the university’s commitment to enhancing teaching and learning through best-in-class technology. The project team is now entering the evaluation stage and invites all faculty and instructors across Purdue campuses to participate in reviewing and providing feedback on the proposed syllabus management solutions starting mid-November.

 The selected tool will support consistent, accessible, and efficient syllabus creation and distribution across all Purdue campuses, including Purdue’s West Lafayette and Indianapolis locations, Purdue Fort Wayne, and Purdue Northwest. A key requirement identified by the selection project team is the ability for instructors to designate individual sections of a syllabus as public- or student-facing while maintaining only one version of the document.  

All faculty, instructors, and staff who are interested are invited (not required) to view recordings of vendor demonstrations (approximately two hours long each). These recordings will be available, and a survey provided for instructors to give feedback. The links to recordings and deadline for feedback will be posted as they are available.

The selected syllabus management tool will help streamline academic operations and support compliance with House Enrolled Act 1001-2025: “A faculty member shall prepare and post on the institution’s website a syllabus for each course the faculty member is teaching.” It will also assist with accreditation standards, and enhance the student experience system wide.
