FACT2 Task Group explores potential of the DLE
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.
