A school for which I have taught had a problem with their syllabi: updates to the formatting and verbage were made frequently, and it was difficult to get all instructors to update their syllabi consistently each quarter. I came up with the solution for a web interface where faculty could enter just a few key pieces of course data, and have the rest of the corresponding data retrieved from a database. The Word document is created and downloaded using a PHP library called PHPWord. All syllabi can be updated consistently each quarter, since any changes can be simply added to the PHP script.
