We are less than one month away from the launch of <\/span>Carleton’s <\/span>academic<\/span> courses<\/span> i<\/span>n <\/span>Brigh<\/span>t<\/span>space<\/span><\/a>!\u202f<\/span>Starting May 6, <\/span>Brightspace by D2L will replace <\/span>cuLearn<\/span> as Carleton\u2019s Learning Management System (LMS)<\/span>.\u202f<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five years of course content has already been migrated<\/span> to the new system \u2013 <\/span>approximately <\/span>22<\/span>,000<\/span> courses are ready for review in Brightspace. As you plan your new Brightspace course, consider whether you’d like to start fresh or review and use existing content.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting Fresh<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carleton’s new LMS offers an opportunity for a fresh look at your course design. If you plan to start from scratch, check out TLS’s course creation resources on the\u202f<\/span>Brightspace Support <\/span>s<\/span>ite<\/span><\/a>. There you’ll find <\/span>course s<\/span>etup resources<\/span>,<\/span> <\/span><\/a>such as the\u202f<\/span>Course Setup Checklist<\/span><\/a>, the\u202f<\/span>Brightspace Glossary,<\/span><\/a>\u202fthe\u202f<\/span>Brightspace Tool<\/span>s Course<\/span><\/a> and\u202f<\/span>c<\/span>ourse <\/span>t<\/span>emplates<\/span><\/a>. If you’d like to see a fully setup course, consider\u202f<\/span>self-enrolling in the Brightspace Example Course<\/span><\/a>\u202for join the\u202f<\/span>Brightspace Basics Online <\/span>C<\/span>ourse<\/span>\u202f<\/span><\/a>to step through the simplest course creation process.\u202f<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Migrated Content<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If<\/span> you are planning to use existing content migrated from a previous <\/span>cuLearn<\/span> course, take some time to compar<\/span>e<\/span> your <\/span>cuLearn<\/span> course with the migrated content in Brightspace. Make note of what’s missing or what will need revision. In particular, if you had question banks in <\/span>cuLearn<\/span> with complicated question types, such as calculated multiple choice, math equations or randomized question pools, your question banks may need some extra attention. Review the\u202f<\/span>Quiz Question Migration Guide<\/span><\/a>\u202fto see how your questions are likely to migrate. <\/span>T<\/span>he\u202f<\/span>Course Migration Resource<\/span>s page<\/span><\/a>\u202f<\/span>also has<\/span> lots of additional helpful materials, such as\u202f<\/span>the<\/span>\u202f<\/span>cuLearn<\/span> to B<\/span>rightspace Tool Crosswalk<\/span><\/a> <\/span>for an overview of what to\u202fexpect.\u202f<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All migrated courses will require some clean up and revision before use.\u202fLeave time for a course review as part of your course development process.\u202fTLS <\/span>team members <\/span>would be happy to meet with you to explore your content together. Please reach out using the\u202f<\/span>consultation request form<\/span><\/a>.\u202f<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
