Stony Brook’s new LMS after 24 years…

Blackboard, Brightspace

After impacting the educational experiences of thousands of students since January 1999, Blackboard Learn is sunsetting during Fall 2023.

When it was initially implemented, we were looking for a tool that would allow instructors the ability to post their content online.  We were the first SUNY school to use Blackboard and never, did I imagine at the time, how much our campus would depend on the system years later.

Spring 2023 is the final semester .

As we transition from Blackboard to Brightspace, please know that the team is here to help.

 

Copies of Blackboard courses are now in Brightspace from Fall 2021-Summer 2022

Stony Brook Instructors:
You do not need to submit requests to move Blackboard courses from Fall 2021, Winter 2022, Spring 2022, & Summer 2022 into Brightspace**.  This has been done for you! .  When you log into Brightspace (https://brightspace.stonybrook.edu)  ,  you should see your courses under the Conversions Tab In the My Courses box  …  All converted courses start with STB

You should also have a sandbox under the NOTERM ongoing courses term

AND
See your Winter 2023 & Spring 2023  courses as well!

 

**Fall 2022 Bb courses will be imported over after the semester ends
If there is a course that you teach that has not been offered since Summer of 2021, and you would like a copy of it in Brightspace, submit a service ticket at: https://service.stonybrook.edu

 

If you have content from an older semester for a course that has already been copied for you into Brightspace,  you will need to export the content that you need from Blackboard and import into an existing Brightspace course of your choice. See https://it.stonybrook.edu/help/kb/exporting-your-course-content-from-blackboard-and-importing-it-into-brightspace for details!

For Spring 2023, all courses are encouraged to use Brightspace!
