Just over two weeks remaining to migrate courses from Blackboard to Brightspace
The Digital Learning Environment (DLE) team wanted to remind faculty and students that the campus is migrating from Blackboard to Brightspace for the fall 2022 semester. All courses taught with or supplemented by Blackboard need to migrate.
With just over two weeks remaining before the start of the semester, the DLE team is happy to report that many faculty are well on their way in making the transition. If faculty have not started migrating fall 2022 courses, the team encourages you to start now to avoid start-of-semester issues. Allocating a couple of weeks per course migration is recommended.
Course migrations
Faculty who still need to migrate fall 2022 courses can request they be migrated or can manually export them from Blackboard and import them into Brightspace themselves. The DLE Support page will guide you through these options.
Course content review
All courses that have migrated, whether by request or manually, should be reviewed to ensure all the content migrated and acts as expected. Faculty can use the migration guide to assist with this. The guide continues to evolve as the college works through the transition.
Brightspace training
If you need Brightspace training:
- The SUNY Center for Professional Development (CPD) is offering training in various modalities, including an asynchronous course available right in Brightspace.
- The college is complementing the CPD training with online office hours and Migration and Munchies in-person help sessions.
The DLE Training page has more information about these options as well as additional training resources.
