Dear OCL Students:

We recognize how the technology supporting your online learning experience is critical for your success in the OCL program. We regularly review how we can evolve the online learning platform to better meet your needs, and as a result, will be transitioning away from the current 2SC platform to Canvas, starting with the Fall 2022 semester.

This new LMS is designed to give you more dynamic ways to engage with your course, faculty, and fellow students. You will be able to more easily access the latest features and new learning tools while in the program. Your faculty also have more flexibility to update your lessons and keep your learning relevant and fresh.

You will receive access to the new Digital Campus after registration in July. You will hear about next steps, trainings and resources, and more information about the transition from the Ed.D. Program Office and the student success team. The platform has a different layout and features, so after you receive access, we highly encourage you to attend a technical training to learn how to navigate it before courses kick off.

We are confident this will be a positive shift, and the OCL program and Rossier are working to make this transition as seamless as possible for you. Expect more emails about this transition in the weeks ahead.

Sincerely,

The OCL Program Office
