SLN/CourseSpace

What is the SUNY Learning Network (SLN)?

An online Course Management System (CMS) allows courses to be taught online via the Internet. Possibly you have heard of BlackBoard, WebCT, or Angel. Those are all commercial CMS's. In contrast, New York State has its own home-grown CMS called the SUNY Learning Network (SLN). 60+ SUNY campuses use SLN in order to offer fully online, web-enhanced, and hybrid courses in a structured and safe environment.

In any SLN course, students are required to register at their campus first and then access their course online through SLN. Students simply complete the password process or activate their existing online account each semester.

How is CourseSpace related to SLN?

SLN began supporting CourseSpace this past year. Previously, SLN offered only fully online, asynchronous courses. SLN then took over the management of CourseSpace in order to also offer web-enhanced and hybrid courses throughout New York State. To date, web-enhanced and hybrid courses are termed as “CourseSpace” and fully online courses are termed as “SLN.” These terms are to help you, the student, distinguish among online courses. In the future, the term CourseSpace will be replaced with “Blended.”
