The Center for Distance and Online Learning is here to help.
Whether you are preparing your course for the migration to D2L Brightspace, or need help during your last semester on Blackboard this spring, there is a training, open lab, or consultation opportunity available for you.
For those who have participated in the Migration Preparation Sessions, we are offering OPEN LABS for customized and focused support in the preparation of your migration shells. These OPEN LABS are available on Zoom. If you want to attend and do not see a time slot that works for you, please let us know your availability so we can add that to the next schedule. Further details on the migration of courses will be coming soon.

Like many of you, we are disappointed by the inability to support drop-ins and unscheduled visits as we have in the past. This move to a new LMS , involving the entire campus, is too large of an enterprise to manage those spontaneous visits we have valued and truly enjoyed over the years. We are hoping this new and extensive support schedule, with forms and appointments and labs, and our ongoing and careful planning, will ensure you get what you need with a skilled Instructional Designer to guide you through this major campus-wide transition.
We look forward to helping you!
