eCollege .NExT Migration

We have begun the process of migrating to the .NExT version of the eCollege Platform.  A dozen online courses (01W, 02W...) were selected for the first stage of migration for the Fall 2008 term in order to monitor the migration process closely. Courses were selected based on one or more of the following criteria: Vista user, MAC user, use of ClassLive Pro, courses representing a diversity of academic departments, use of a varied eCollege components (i.e. groups, doc sharing, exams, content), and instructor comfort and flexibility.

Faculty new to Texas A&M University-Commerce, who are teaching a new online course, are being trained on .NExT rather than the existing version of eCollege, referred to as the Legacy version.

The migration to .NExT will take place in stages over the 2008-2009 academic year. During the Fall 2008 and Spring 2008 terms, we will provide 'Introduction to .NExT' sessions in both face-to-face and online formats. Watch for dates and times for these sessions in upcoming issues of the Instructional Design Newsletter.

We'll continue to share the progress of the migration to .NExT with you through this newsletter.
