CUNY Online, though, was built internally, drawing on 15 years of online course development, said Jorge Silva-Puras, interim dean of the CUNY School of Professional Studies, which is hosting the new program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The school already served as a central online learning resource for CUNY instructors when the pandemic hit. The goal is to launch between 14 and 20 new programs within the next year and a half, Silva-Puras said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CUNY is also currently selecting a <a href=\"https:\/\/scoopmedia-develop.go-vip.net\/edscoop\/tag\/learning-management-system\/\">learning management system<\/a> for its students systemwide to view course materials, complete activities and upload assignments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPart of the idea is that the new online degrees that we create with CUNY Online will from the get-go be designed and developed in the ecosystem of the new LMS,\u201d Silva-Puras said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new LMS needs to accommodate \u201ctop-of-the-line\u201d audiovisual content, he said. The school is building three new recording studios and using studio facilities across its campuses to create CUNY Online materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first round of programs developed through CUNY Online are fully online and asynchronous, but as the initiative develops, there are plans to incorporate in-person elements, Silva-Puras said. The School of Professional Studies currently partners with local organizations, like museums and healthcare providers, on hybrid programs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s what we typically like to to focus on our programs&nbsp;\u2014 that active component, whether it&#8217;s in the form of a capstone or end of semester projects, but we certainly have many possibilities given because integration of industry here,\u201d Silva-Puras said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Academic departments across
