Post the Course Syllabus


There are three ways you can post your course syllabus in Moodle 4 and have it show to students in the Course Syllabus link at the top of the page. You can either link a file or paste a link from a Google Doc. The third way is to copy and paste your current syllabus right into the custom field. (If you choose to paste, you will need to make some revisions because the formatting does not come over perfectly. Reach out if you need help with revising.)
