Columbia University has launched a major technology project to replace the existing CourseWorks system with a new learning management and collaboration system powered by Sakai software technology.
The new system is known as New CourseWorks.
Each academic term starting with Fall 2011, 800 courses, their instructors and approximately 2,500 students will transition to the new CourseWorks system. During the transitional period (some courses on the old system and some on the new), the existing CourseWorks system will remain fully operational and support all of the courses not yet moved to New CourseWorks.
Each term, a group of early adopters will pioneer the system for the future Schools and Departments transitioning.
