Transition to BRIGHTSPACE:

CUNY is transitioning to a new Learning Management System (LMS) called Brightspace by D2L. The Board of Trustees approved Brightspace as the new LMS for all CUNY colleges following an extensive needs assessment and RFP process required by the expiration of the University’s contract with Blackboard. Brightspace was determined to be the LMS that best met CUNY’s needs. The transition to a new LMS will enable CUNY to expand online learning and continue to deliver engaging learning experiences using modern teaching and learning technology widely adopted by our peers.

John Jay will be in Group transition 1 . Courses will be offered in Brightspace in Spring 2024

Training and on-demand resources for our campus communities will be developed, along with talking points to inform and prepare faculty, staff, and students for the new learning environment. We hope to recruit volunteers to test and refine Brightspace and provide feedback on training and resources for the transition.

You can find the full governance framework, committee descriptions, an overview of the transition process, and a detailed timeline online at cuny.edu/lmstransition. The website will be updated regularly as the transition progresses. If you have any questions about the LMS transition, please contact us at [email protected].
