DLE Weekly Update: Better Semester Rollover Process

Posted on Friday, October 30th, 2020

Updated November 2nd, 2020

We are putting this process on hold for now. Deploying this new process had some unforeseen consequences that need to be addressed. Therefore, we reverted back to the old rollover process. This means that you will not see your Winter 2021 courses appear in Brightspace before the first week of December 2020 as per usual.

We will continue working on this much needed improvement, and we’re hoping to be able to have the process streamlined in time to deploy the Spring/Summer courses at the beginning of the Winter 2021 semester.

Stay tuned.

********************************************************************

This week a new Semester Rollover Process has been deployed, and Winter 2021 courses have been created in Brightspace. This new process works in two phases, this being the first phase, which allows us to create next semester’s courses one full semester in advance. The advantage is that you may start designing your courses earlier, using the actual course space, and therefore eliminating the need for you to request bridging spaces.
