Cohort 3 Launches

Written by ATIS Apps on . Posted in Home page.

Over 91 representatives from the 11 campuses that comprise Cohort 3 participated in a virtual kick-off meeting at the beginning of August. 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 3 campuses then moved into a multi-month process involving academic and technical planning, training, testing, and piloting. Cohort 3 campuses plan to go live in the production environment in the upcoming spring term.

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.
