The syllabus is the official outline for your course. As an instructor, if you or your department has prepared an online syllabus already, you can direct the Syllabus Tool to link to it.
Otherwise, you can enter material to post directly to your syllabus. As you create a syllabus, you can designate that it be viewable by the general public or just to members of your course.
Some features of a traditional syllabus are divided between the Syllabus and Schedule areas. Some instructors use the Syllabus area to display the department's official online syllabus, and use the Schedule as a detailed resource for students.
