The message below was sent by Ruru Rusmin to all SPS faculty to highlight key points and provide details for the SPS community:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear SPS Community,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier you received the latest LMS Transition update<\/a> from Executive Vice Chancellor Wendy Hensel. We would like to highlight 5 key points, followed by details that pertain to SPS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The university-wide Brightspace environment is complete; SPS and other Group 1 and 2 schools are working on customizing their local nodes\/organizations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Migration of Summer 2023 courses is on track for Dec. 15 completion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. All faculty now have access to Brightspace and can create practice course sites.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Faculty workshops from Central will begin in January<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. We will be able to customize our college and course navigation menus (navbars)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Ref #2, SPS dev site migration<\/strong>: In addition to the migration of summer 2023 courses (content only), SPS is working with the CUNY team to migrate our dev sites<\/strong>. We plan to migrate our 3-, 7-, and 10-week dev sites in January 2024, and our 15-week dev sites in April 2024. Please note the migration of 3\/7\/10-week dev sites begins January 15; anything added or changed after January 15 in these Blackboard dev sites will not be captured in their migration to Brightspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ref #3, Brightspace practice sites<\/strong>: Faculty and staff can now access the new LMS at brightspace.cuny.edu<\/a>. Faculty can create practice sites with two limitations: practice sites may not include SPS-specific tools like VoiceThread, Digication, and Panopto, and faculty cannot enroll students despite the default text in the widget. Staff cannot create practice sites, but are welcome to reach out to us <\/a>if they would like to set up practice sites for their unit. Student access is scheduled for May 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ref #4, Training and Support:<\/strong> We encourage SPS faculty and staff to take advantage of common resources such as the Brightspace Resource Course they are automatically enrolled in, the CUNY Brightspace Basics workshop series starting in January, and the Brightspace Community<\/a>. We are working on our own SPS Brightspace Essentials Mini-Course for Faculty, which will launch in December 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    More information and questions<\/strong>: Please visit the CUNY Transition FAQ<\/a> page as well our own SPS Transition Site<\/a>. If your question isn\u2019t answered or you would like to contact us, please don\u2019t hesitate to email the SPS Transition team at brightspace@sps.cuny.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Best,
    Ruru<\/p>\n\n\n\n
