NEW!! NCC Cohort Section Announced: February 2022

Nassau Community College has been formally approved to participate in SUNY DLE Cohort 4. SUNY anticipates that each cohort will run between 11 and 13 months. Cohort 4 implementation will formally begin in January 2023 with the full campus migration to D2L Brightspace in Fall 2023 semester. Please note that members of the Office of Distance Education are already engaged in planning and preparation, attending SUNY meetings in advance of the implementation.

SUNY Learning Management System Announced: July 2021

At the conclusion of a broad and consultative Request for Proposal process, SUNY selected Desire2Learn’s (D2L) Brightspace Learning Management System to serve as the hub of its Digital Learning Environment. The contract between SUNY and D2L has been approved by the Office of the New York State Attorney General and the Office of the New York State Comptroller.

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.

This allows SUNY to take advantage of economies of scale, better share best practices and resources across campuses and between SUNY System Administration resources and campuses, assure strong technical support, and provide a familiar platform for students, faculty and staff moving across campuses.
