In June 2017, the University announced that it would adopt Canvas as our single, centrally supported learning management system. The transition is expected to take 24 months, during which CBS-RLT will provide specialized support for CBS instructors. Our goal is to minimize the need for you to be involved in migrating your course content. This will allow you to focus your energy on learning how to use Canvas.

CBS Plan

CBS-RLT will work with instructors and central IT resources to move courses into Canvas. The key elements of the CBS transition are:

• About 60 courses will move each semester each fall and spring for the next two years.
• Online courses will move in Summer 17.
• CBS-RLT will continue to provide its usual support to instructors using Moodle.

NOTE: As we adapt to best meet the needs of our faculty, these plans may change. This webpage will be updated as needed.
