Message from the Provost

In fall 2023, we signed a contract with Instructure to adopt Canvas as our new LMS. Many of you have expressed concerns about making this change while we have so many other things on our plate.

Most of our students come from schools that use Canvas and we have established a talented project team to guide the implementation. This team will be paying particular attention to setting realistic (if aggressive) timelines, and identifying the support and resources that students, faculty and staff will need. In addition, 5 faculty have agreed to participate in a pilot of Canvas during spring 2024.

Canvas is the world’s #1 teaching and learning software and is built to make teaching and learning easier for everyone. Known for its flexibility, accessibility and mobility, Canvas solutions make educators more effective and students more successful in school and beyond.
