CLE open meetings: Our journey to Canvas by Instructure from Blackboard Learn
The latest CLE open meeting took place on Monday 7 April.
We will add the recording of this meeting once it becomes available.
A recording of the previous CLE open meeting (23rd January 2025) is shown below.
Canvas Training
The FBMH eLearning Team has developed a training plan tailored to your role and current Blackboard use. We will be offering both scheduled training and “just-in-time” support (such as drop-ins and Live Chat support) to meet your needs.
You’ll receive details on how to book on your courses at the right time, but if you have any questions about this process, please get in touch.
Preparing for the Move to Canvas
Currently, only semester 1 courses are available in Canvas. For those teaching on full year or semester 2 courses, we recommend starting with a thorough clean-up of your existing Blackboard courses to ensure they are in optimal condition for the move.

Using Modules to create a learner-centered journey
Facilitate student meetings with the Scheduler tool
Uploading and embedding videos from Canvas Studio
Creating video assignments within your course
Adding comments and timestamps to your videos
