With student enrollment on the decline, institutions are exploring innovative ways to enhance their offerings without incurring significant additional costs. Course-sharing has emerged as a promising solution, but it brings challenges in balancing the needs of students, faculty, administrators, and IT teams. Students seek convenience, faculty require resource accessibility, administrators focus on security and efficiency, and IT departments are interested in all of it and often play a key role in bringing these elements together.
The Interactive Distance Education Alliance (IDEA) and InCommon have collaborated to address these challenges. Together, they’ve engaged 20 institutions and over 30 stakeholders to develop a federated identity solution that simplifies access across learning management systems. This approach aims to remove login barriers and streamline the experience for students—enabling them to register for courses at other institutions without added accounts or IT hurdles.
Join us to learn about the progress of this initiative and explore how other institutions can leverage the InCommon Federation for single sign-on (SSO) solutions. This session will offer practical insights for IT professionals, administrators, and faculty into facilitating easier access for multi-institutional course-sharing, library resources, and more.
