Week's End Report - May 19th

This summer we are excited to begin our first full semester of using several new tools. IvyLearn is our new Learning Management System (LMS), we also have MyIvy, the new information portal, and soon we'll be getting the new training system, IvyLead. The Instructional Design Center (IDC) was faced with a choice: try to update the old website with new information, or join the revolution. When you see the new IDC website, we think you'll agree with our decision!

Please check out the new IDC website:

Some of the great features of the new website include:

• Mobile-friendly interface
• Simpler navigation
• Getting Started checklists
• Updated content
