Hudson Valley Community College is migrating from Blackboard to D2L’s Brightspace Learning Management System. The migration of the LMS is part of a larger SUNY initiative to implement a common Digital Learning Environment (DLE) across SUNY. This DLE consists of the LMS (Brightspace), several common tool integrations, a common technical architecture and data integration, and a common look for faculty and students.
