[VPAAEtal] eCollege .NExT Round 2

[Academic Affairs]

Good Morning!

 

As you recall from an e-mail sent in mid-July eCollege has released
their new eLearning platform - .NExT. The first wave of the migration
went very well and several courses are being taught using the .NExT
platform beginning Monday!

 

Round two of the migration will begin September 5, 2008. This round will
include all courses offered in eCollege in the spring 2008 semester -
both wholly on-line and those that were web-enhanced. Spring 2008
courses will be migrated to a Spring 2009 .NExT term. This wave includes
more than 400 courses. As courses are migrated those of you who taught
spring 2008 courses will be asked to perform a quality assurance check
on your course. This will be taking place mid-September into
mid-October. Again, we ask for your patience during this time. As
always, our department will be providing ongoing communication, support,
and training.

 

The .NExT platform provides multiple language support, multiple platform
support (i.e. MAC), multiple operating system support (i.e. Windows
Vista), multiple time-zone support and many other great features. 

 

If you have questions, please do not hesitate to phone 903-886-5511 or
e-mail: online at tamu-commerce.edu

 

Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as we migrate
to .NExT!

Charlotte
