Visual Syllabi in the Digital Transformation Journey!

Dear Instructors,

We are happy to share an exciting announcement with you!

As OLTE, we would like to share with you the visual syllabus examples we have designed. This innovative step is intended to help you deliver your course content more effectively and efficiently.

We have observed that students either do not thoroughly read the syllabus in detail or miss some crucial information, which has become a problem. As OLTE, we have developed visual syllabi in addition to traditional syllabi in order to address this issue. 

Visual syllabi are more preferable materials compared to traditional syllabi in terms of ease of use, memorability, organization, and overall appeal. Visual syllabi can help students feel more comfortable with the course requirements and facilitate their adaptation to the course. Visual syllabi can also serve to highlight relationships between course topics, introduce students to concept maps as a learning tool, and enhance the encoding of more information into long-term memory (Kaur, 2021; Yarosh, 2021).

We kindly invite you to choose visual syllabi along with traditional ones.

Let's work together to build the future of learning experience!

Best Regards,

OLTE Team.
