At SUNY, we are transforming the landscape of online learning. Drawing on our rich history of innovation, we're placing the outstanding educational opportunities and talented faculty from our 64 campuses at your fingertips. SUNY Online brings together an online learning environment to serve students at scale, opening the door to world-class technology-enabled learning opportunities.
SUNY Online is not a new degree program or a new school; it's a seamless way for you to easily access the courses, degrees, professors, and rich academics of all 64 SUNY campuses—wherever and whenever you want. SUNY is delivering its renowned high-quality education with an unprecedented breadth of tools, services, and supports designed to help you be successful.
SUNY's DLE project provides a dynamic opportunity to unify the digital learning environment within which all SUNY campuses operate: a common Learning Management System (LMS) application. Most campuses will operate within a shared environment that enables students and faculty to access courses from across the system via one login. The environment is based on a central architecture with common data structures; common templates; a common set of online tools integrated with the LMS; and a common integration for data. The transition to D2L's Brightspace has enabled SUNY to take advantage of economies of scale, better share best practices and resources across campuses and between SUNY System Administration resources and campuses, assure strong technical support, and provide a familiar platform for students, faculty and staff moving across campuses.
Key highlights of the SUNY Digital Learning Environment include:
Whether you're starting a new degree, completing a degree started years ago, or furthering your education with online courses, SUNY Online can provide you with an educational experience tailored to your interests and needs.
