Exciting news! The shift from Courseworks to New Courseworks is moving along faster than expected!

Originally, the move was scheduled to take place over four academic terms, ending in the fall of 2013. However, over one third of all courses at Columbia are already being hosted in New Courseworks. If your instructors haven’t started using it yet, you can look forward to seeing the new system very soon!

New CourseWorks exceeds Fall Term 2011 Goal

By Chuck Eigen · Comments (0)
Monday, November 21st, 2011

Columbia University’s New CourseWorks system is now hosting OVER 1,200 Fall Term 2011 course sites! 

Our initial goals were to transition 800 courses to the new system for Fall term, which came from the move of the four medical center schools and Social Works, plus three Arts & Sciences departments.  

But the bigger jump came via early adopters (requests from instructors opting into New CourseWorks) ahead of their school or department’s planned transition term.  

 With another major transition on tap for the start of Spring Term 2012,  New CourseWorks will be hosting the majority of courses as we continue down our transition path to retire the existing CourseWorks system.
