Don’t Wait! Move from Bb to Canvas now

All Bb courses must move to Canvas by 9/30/15.

Blackboard course content from Fall 2012-Spring 2015, are being migrated to Canvas for you. Instructors can log in now and see for yourself. 

As of June 29, 2015 we have migrated nearly 17,000 Blackboard courses dating back to Winter 2013 into Canvas. We are currently working on migrating course content from Fall Quarter 2012, Fall Law Semester 2012, and Spring Quarter 2015. For terms prior to Fall 2012, we will export and archive any remaining Blackboard content. To see which terms have been successfully migrated, please check our course migration tracking sheet.

16,961 courses migrated

 

No Blackboard course content will be deleted.

So what does this mean for me?

This should make locating materials you used in a previous course easier to find because it will be within your drop down menu for Canvas courses.

Summer is the perfect time to migrate to Canvas! 

All courses will be taught in Canvas beginning September 30, 2015. Don’t wait until the last minute.

Take advantage of the summer term to learn Canvas by publishing your course now. Most faculty, GTFs, and students report that Canvas is intuitive and easy to use, but if you have questions or any special circumstances to address, you’ll want to work through them now when the lines for support are low.

 

shorter wait times for support now through July. Long wait times in August and September.
