SJSU iSchool GSS Tutorials

Hints for Success!

Do not copy/paste content from Word, Excel, Googles Docs, or any other application.
It can make the syllabus fail accessibility requirements. This is especially true for TABLES which cause many accessibility failures.
Use only Firefox or Chrome browsers; Microsoft products are not supported.
Use the application buttons, not the browser back and reload buttons (except in Preview mode).
Use shift-return to go to the next line if you do not want a new paragraph.
Use the logout button in the application.
Review step 1 for 2-Factor Authentication to understand the login process.
Review step 2 for Textbook Selection before beginning.
Look at approved Syllabi to get an idea of required content.
Check the changing GSS FAQ for answers.
