Syllabus — Course Design & Workload Planner

Syllabus — Course Design & Workload Planner — a premium, 100% offline digital tool by Aceplore. Runs entirely in your browser: no accounts, no subscriptions, your data never leaves your device.

A private, offline course planner that makes the workload visible — contact hours, reading hours at a rate you set, preparation and assessment time, all totalled against the credit value so you can see whether the course you designed is the course you can actually teach — 31 tools in one.

31 built-in tools in one app. A course list with a full plan, a generated syllabus document and a policies section; learning outcomes with an outcome map, a coverage-gap view that names any outcome nothing teaches or assesses, Bloom levels and an alignment check; a weekly schedule with each week in detail, a term calendar, sessions with individual records, a run sheet and an activity library; and the workload maths — contact hours totalled from your session minutes, student workload across every category, reading load computed at a pages-per-hour rate you set and can defend, and preparation time — all against the course credit value; an assessment plan with individual assessments, weights, and a spread-and-bunching view that shows where deadlines collide; a reading list, a to-prepare list and an accessibility checklist; plus reports and CSV export.

Contact hours. Totalled from the minutes you enter, broken down by week and by session kind, with any session scheduled outside the term separated rather than silently counted.

Coverage gaps. Any learning outcome that no session teaches or no assessment tests, named explicitly rather than left to be noticed by a reviewer.

Spread & bunching. Assessment due dates across the term, so three submissions in one week are caught at design time.

Syllabus is a planning, record-keeping and calculation tool for students, researchers and teaching staff. Every figure and every formatted output it produces is derived by a standard published method from what YOU enter, and the rules behind it are editable because academic conventions are set locally rather than universally. Your institution's regulations, your funder's terms and your supervisor's, journal's or examiner's requirements always take precedence over anything shown here — check them, and confirm anything that carries a consequence before you rely on it. Nothing here is a guarantee of a grade, an award, an approval or a result, and none of it is academic, financial or legal advice. You are solely responsible for your own academic and research decisions.
