I do similar things, but to be honest, I don't bother with the syllabi or other prepared areas. I incorporate them into discussion posts, announcements, live sessions. 9-5 I run an IT support team for a college, one thing I've learned in the last 10 years, you could put "e-mail me and I'll send you $100" in every syllabus at a school and still only be out a couple hundred bucks at the end of the term. Sad, but true in my experience. Related, but OT, EULAs are the same. I put a line similar to above in a EULA for some software I did a number of years back. Never got a single response.
