Segue from Segue Focus Group Sessions

To help find platforms to replace Segue, the Library and Information Services (LIS) Curricular Technology team will be coordinating the formation of Segue from Segue focus groups.  The goal of these focus groups is to understand how faculty teach and how they use the technologies currently available to them at Middlebury and beyond.

To ensure focus group discussions are manageable and productive, each session will be limited to 8-10 participants and session registration is required.

Here is a list sessions currently scheduled:

Segue v1 Shut Down

Segue v1 will soon be shut down.  Currently, editing and new site creation has been disabled in Segue v1 since August.  Sometime this spring (specific date to be set soon…), existing Segue v1 sites will not be viewable as well.

(Segue v2 will continue to be available at least through summer 2010.)

If you have created a site in Segue v1 that is still being used, please migrate it to Segue v2 ASAP.  To migrate a Segue v1 site to v2, do the following:

  1. Go to https://segue.middlebury.edu/
  2. Log in with your Middlebury username and password
  3. Click on the “Migrate Sites” link
  4. Locate the site(s) you want to migrate
  5. Click on the “Import into” button

If you have any problems migrating your Segue v1 site, please contact me immediately (achapin@middlebury.edu).  Also contact me if you know of Segue v1 sites that are being used regularly.  Segue v1 sites are all sites whose web address starts with the following:
https://segue1.middlebury.edu/….
https://segue1community.middlebury.edu/…

We are currently researching alternatives to Segue in general.  Check back here for updates on this.
