The Innovative Instruction Transformation Team, established as an outcome of the SUNY Strategic Plan, made recommendations to leverage the “Power of SUNY” for supporting academic excellence and student success. A vision for a “network of networks” emerged, including tools and practices that will collaboratively increase efficiency and capacity for SUNY-wide delivery of high quality instruction. The Chancellor, Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost and SUNY Board of Trustees have endorsed solutions that will:

Enhance teaching and learning by providing affordable, innovative, and flexible education in a full range of instructional formats
Develop instructional talent by creating and supporting communities of practice across disciplines and institutions
Support, monitor and embrace research on pedagogical practices to continually improve the instructional practices of SUNY faculty
Extend teaching and learning environments to provide new avenues for development and delivery of collaborative content, courses, and programs in New York and across the globe through Open SUNY.
