Moving Content from Moodle to Brightspace

Faculty will be able to decide the best path forward for moving courses from Moodle to Brightspace. We have outlined some key considerations and workflows so that you can choose the option that works best for you and your course materials. Please note that Moodle is only available to faculty members connected to the Purchase College network, either from on-campus or remotely via OpenVPN.
