Info

In 2011, IS&T began a community-driven process of re-architecting familiar tools and functionality within Stellar as feature-rich, robust modular service components. All modules are comprehensively beta tested with the MIT community prior to final release in order to ensure delivery of the best possible user experience.

NEW in the Fall 2015 term: All course instructors and administrators will be offered an opt-in choice to use the new Modular Learning Management system in place of Stellar. More information is provided below:
