Features
Open Course Software has many features to make it easy for you to jump in and start simplifying your course management.
Syllabus Editor
You can enter all the information about your course into the software, and it will generate your course syllabus for you. Now you don’t have to hand it out on the first day of class, unless you want to, because students can get it from the web. A student lost his copy? Tell him to print another one from the web. Define common content for all your classes, or customize some sections of the syllabus for a certain course. Reorder the parts at will!
Account Creation
This part’s easy. Just tell your students to visit your site, and click on the “Create an account” link. The student type in his/her name and e-mail address, and chooses which class(es) he/she is registered for. The e-mail address is validated, and the student chooses a secure password. After all that, you get notified that a student created an account, and you get to verify or deny the account with one click.
