Additionally, we are working towards moving from the D2L Brightspace Classic Content Experience to their New Content Experience. To make this transition as seamless as possible for both the UCNI and the move to D2L's New Content Experience, OTL will be working to further develop and finalize the UCNI over the Summer (2025) in preparation to begin offering training and development areas to instructors as soon as August 2025.Ìý
