  • SOD to Pilot Ilios 2

    The School of Dentistry will be piloting the use of iLios 2 for their curriculum management starting this Fall. The Schools of Medicine and Pharmacy have been working closely with them to share the benefits of the tool, our experiences, best practices, support models etc.

  • Learning Space Toolkit
    Check out the just launched new Learning Space Toolkit from the folks at North Carolina State University (NCSU) Libraries. The toolkit is a freely available resource designed to support the full lifecycle of a learning space design project, from defining the goals and needs to designing the space to supporting it. By using the Toolkit, institutions will be better equipped to orchestrate the planning process so that learners are better supported and spaces, technology, and services are effective. The Toolkit will be complete by November.
