EDUCAUSE writes that "The thoughtfully designed and implemented program, a result of extensive collaboration among all participating campuses with leadership from the Office of Advanced Learning & Information Services, features a variety of elements of value to other institutions, including:

• a well-structured four-stage faculty development process and seven step course design process, with extensive training and support for participating faculty and an emphasis on providing for different learning styles;
• a robust technology architecture that offers a reliable development and learning environment for faculty and students, emphasizing a high degree of individual interaction;
• a 24x7 technical support program that serves all participating SLN institutions;
• a funding and property-rights model that recognizes and rewards the contributions of individual faculty and institutions and, at the same time, acknowledges a common need for high quality support and service;
• assessment techniques for tracking results and levels of satisfaction."

EDUCAUSE goes on to say that, "The SLN approach serves as an outstanding model for offering a broad range of high quality courses, with a solid, efficient, and cost-effective infrastructure for faculty development and student support."

In 1999, the OLIS worked to make SUNYConnect databases available to SLN students.
