Utilizing Technology to Equitize Syllabus and Course Design

James Gray, a professor of mathematics, clearly outlines the course structure on his equitizing syllabus for students. The progression of the course and its main components are explained, explicitly showing how the course is designed so that students know what to expect. Professor Gray’s approach could be translated to the set-up and design of a course’s LMS.
