Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Syllabus Creation Best Practices

All DL/DH courses taught in the College of Arts and Sciences are required to use the ASC Distance Learning Syllabus template

This template provides consistency for students taking online courses in the College of Arts and Sciences and keeps required syllabus elements updated to reflect current policies, statements, and student support resources.

If interested in help thinking through course design and structure and communicating course expectations to students with your syllabus, please consider scheduling a meeting with an Office of Distance Education Instructional Designer.
