State University of New York (SUNY)

SUNY’s Bold Move to Transform Digital Learning

  • 17 Min Read

Before 2022, State University of New York (SUNY) had a problem—each campus had its own learning management system (LMS). For the largest university system in the United States, it was a big problem.

Imagine juggling multiple logins, different systems and inconsistent experiences across campuses. That was life for SUNY leaders, faculty and students. Data was scattered, support varied and security was patchy.

SUNY needed to unify and simplify the learning experience for everyone. The Solution? Transforming the chaos into a cohesive, streamlined, centralized system.

SUNY System implemented a cohesive Brightspace ecosystem for 58 campuses across three instances, with 56 campuses in one multi-tenant Brightspace instance.
SUNY has standardized the LMS interface and navigation and centralized the information students and faculty require for SUNY courses across all campuses and modalities.
SUNY’s DLE enables the SUNY System to provide all campuses with consistent, robust LMS functionality while offering new opportunities for cross-campus collaboration and insights.
Implementing the D2L Brightspace environment has reduced LMS license costs for SUNY campuses and implementation costs per tenant.
Platform

Now, 58 campuses use one LMS, offering a consistent, user-friendly experience while being cost-effective and efficient.

Dive into the details of SUNY’s digital revolution in this new case study.

You’ll discover:

  • Why SUNY chose to partner with D2L and implement Brightspace
  • How SUNY smoothly transitioned 370,000 students
  • The secret to reducing LMS costs while boosting efficiency
  • The benefits of a unified system for cross-campus collaboration
