Exciting News: A New Learning Management System is Coming!


After a comprehensive selection process, we are thrilled to announce that Brightspace has been chosen as our new Learning Management System (LMS)!

Throughout the Spring 2024 semester, a dedicated team of over 45 faculty and staff from across the institution actively participated in this important decision. They evaluated several top LMS platforms, including Blackboard Ultra, Canvas, and Brightspace. After extensive reviews, feedback sessions, and thorough consideration, Brightspace emerged as the clear choice. Its intuitive design, powerful teaching tools, and robust support for student success made it stand out from the rest.

Our eStarkState team is now working diligently to ensure a seamless integration of Brightspace into our learning environment. The transition will begin with a pilot program in Spring 2025, where select courses will be offered using Brightspace. This pilot phase will allow us to gather valuable feedback, fine-tune the platform, and address any potential challenges before our full rollout starting in Summer 2025.

We believe this change will significantly enhance the learning experience for both students and instructors. Stay tuned for more updates, training opportunities, and resources as we get closer to launching our new LMS!

Welcome to the future of learning at eStarkState!
