ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï

Earlier in 2023, ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï announced it would move from Blackboard to the Canvas learning management system (LMS). That transition will take affect in January for all students.

• Ph.D. students will begin using Canvas when Session 3 starts on January 8
• 8-week graduate students will begin using Canvas when Session 3 starts on January 15
• Traditional students will begin using Canvas when the spring semester starts on January 17
• Adult/online studentswill begin using Canvas when Session 5 starts on January 29

Students who will be affected by this change are encouraged to review the wealth of support resources the university has assembled on its ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï Canvas Transition Website.

The Canvas LMS was chosen by the university’s LMS Selection committee because it felt this platform would offers a more more user-friendly and enriching learning experience for ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï students. Here is why:

• It has a more contemporary and intuitive interface and other features that will improve the student experience.
• The app is mobile-friendly.
• Canvas provides outstanding support, including a 24/7 help desk.
• Built-in messaging allows students to communicate even better with faculty.
• Canvas features technology that will facilitate better Tech Live sessions.
