titleSUNY Digital Learning Environment (DLE)

Status
colourGreen
titleIN Progress

Estimated Completion: Summer 2023

Fall 2022: CIT teams are configuring Geneseo's Brightspace instance to connect information from Banner in preparation for a pilot of 45 classes in Spring 2023. Faculty and instructional designers are participating in training.

SUNY recently selected Desire2Learn’s (D2L) Brightspace Learning Management System to serve as the hub of its Digital Learning Environment. 

With the transition to D2L’s Brightspace, SUNY envisions a dynamic opportunity to unify the digital learning environment within which all SUNY campuses operate: a common LMS application; a central architecture with common data structures; common templates; a common set of online tools integrated with the LMS (right now there is much redundancy across the System); and a common integration for data.

For an update on this project, please follow this wiki page.
