New In Brightspace - AI Tools for Faculty - Explore D2L Lumi!

SUNY is pleased to announce the system-wide roll-out of D2L Lumi Pro, which is the Generative AI capability within Brightspace, beginning August 7, 2025. SUNY will support campuses by covering the bill for this tool through the remainder of the current SUNY contract term, which goes through September 21, 2026.  Campuses may have future opportunities to purchase this extra built-in AI capability; however, we highly encourage you to see its potential while the cost is free to us. This functionality is only available to faculty at this time. 

The initial deployment of Lumi focuses on creating workflow efficiencies for faculty by helping you to generate quiz questions, discussion prompts, assignment ideas, and module summaries. Lumi leverages Anthropic's Large Language Model (LLM) Claude.  

Need some fresh ideas? This tool can help save time and refresh your content! It is a completely optional tool. To learn more, visit the Virtual Campus Faculty Center (login required) to watch a demo and explore the resources. We highly encourage you to attend a training session offered by SUNY. Register for the SUNY Online LUMI Pro Training. 

If you have questions about Lumi, you may reach out to the Virtual Campus (virtualcampus@monroecc.edu) or contact the SUNY Online Help Desk.
