eStar upgrades coming April 7; sneak peeks scheduled

Enhanced features and functionality are coming April 7 to eStar. Users have been assigned eLearnings to help orient them to these changes and prepare them for what they will see beginning April 7. Users should log into the Learning Exchange (https://learningexchange.vumc.org) and click on “My Courses” to see the eLearnings that they should complete before April 7.

To help build on the eLearnings, eStar team experts will be hosting a series of "April Upgrade Sneak Peeks" in various locations around the Medical Center. Attendees will be able to see a number of the biggest changes in the playground environment. Experts will be on hand to answer questions.
