UMPI Changes / BrightSpace

[KSoul]

We don't know anything. They were planning to move for the Fall semester but pushed it off until the Spring semester.

The second link is for faculty. We don't know what changes are coming with Brightspace. We do know that some courses have been rewritten and are now a paper instead of an exam.

It will be interesting to check the tone in the forum if UMPI moves to a proctor format for exams. I anticipate a little dust-up in here; however, with so few exams and UMPI moving more into assignments vs. exams per Jessica, all worries will be overblown. In addition, if you study,  the exams are more than doable, and proctoring won't change the difficulty. If UMPI moves that way, modeling after Study.com proctoring style will make sense. It seems to be a welcomed alternative to the ones when someone is watching you throughout the exam. That has never bothered me, but I have read it causes a lot of anxiety for others.
