The SUNY DLE team welcomes Cohort 4 

Written by ATIS Apps on . Posted in Home page.

Over 50 representatives from the 8 campuses that comprise Cohort 4 participated in a virtual kick-off meeting at the beginning of December. The respective project teams from SUNY System Administration and D2L were introduced, and an initial schedule of activities was shared as part of the implementation that will assist campuses to transition into SUNY’s new Digital Learning Environment. Cohort 4 campuses will move into a multi-month process involving academic and technical planning, training, testing, and piloting. Cohort 4 campuses plan to go live in the production environment in September 2023.

The timeline below demonstrates a high-level schedule for campuses and SUNY technical teams to follow for all the activities and milestones for the implementation. This timeline is purely for guidance as each campus may move at a slightly different pace in accomplishing their tasks.

FACT2 Task Group explores potential of the DLE

Written by ATIS Apps on . Posted in Home page.

A new FACT2 task group has been formed to explore possibilities for indexing and system-wide sharing of educational materials developed by SUNY faculty, instructional designers, and others. SUNY’s adoption of a multi-tenant version of Brightspace makes it possible to share educational materials developed by anyone within the SUNY system in a system-wide learning repository (LR) that is accessible to any SUNY user. This provides a substantial expansion in possibilities for efficient distribution and sharing of high quality learning materials and reduces the need for duplicative work. The FACT2 Leveraging the DLE task group, co-chaired by John Kane (SUNY Oswego) and Katie Ghidiu (Monroe Community College) will spend the 2022-2023 academic year exploring the capabilities for sharing materials in the DLE and developing a process by which materials can be submitted, evaluated, indexed, and shared within the system. A preliminary implementation of this process is planned for the 2023-2024 academic year.
