Join the Central Learning Environment (CLE) project panel on Thursday 11 July at 12pm to hear developments on the University’s journey moving to Canvas.
This is an opportunity to hear how the project team is working to ensure a smooth transition to Canvas by Instructure, supporting our students and colleagues in the process. There will also be a chance to explore Canvas through short demonstrations to see how the CLE will work for you. The panel, including the project team and colleagues from working groups across the University, will be joined by our guest from Instructure, Rich Wall (Senior Services Consultant, EMEA).
Preparing for the Move to Canvas
Although general staff access to Canvas isn’t available yet, it’s crucial to start preparing yourself and your courses for the upcoming transition. We recommend beginning with a thorough cleanup of your existing Blackboard courses to ensure they are in optimal condition for the move.
Supporting the Migration of Legacy Resources – Get in Touch
As we prepare to transition our teaching materials from Blackboard to Canvas, we acknowledge that some resources may now be outdated or in need of some attention, especially those that were created pre-2020 using unsupported applications. The team are here to help identify these legacy resources and where possible, assist you in transferring them to Canvas. If a transfer is not feasible, we will aim to provide alternative solutions for their continued use.
If you believe your course includes such resources, please fill out the form linked below and we will be in touch soon to work through the next best steps.
