  Syllabus is essentially a concise outline of a course of study, and
conventionally a text document. In the past few decades, however, two novel
variations of syllabus have emerged, namely "the Graphic Syllabus" and "the
Interactive Syllabus". Each of these two variations of syllabus has its own
special advantages. The present paper argues that there could be devised a new
combined version of the two mentioned variations, called "the Interactive
Graphic Syllabus", which can potentially bring us the advantages of both at the
same time. Specifically, using a well-designed Interactive Graphic syllabus can
bring about many advantages such as clarifying complex relationships; causing a
better retention; needing less cognitive energy for interpretation; helping
instructors identify any snags in their course organization; capability of
being integrated easily into a course management system; appealing to many of
learning styles and engaging students with different learning styles.
