In this town hall meeting, we address faculty and staff on the transition to Canvas, the new Learning Management System (LMS) for the university.
Key points include the delay of the soft launch until fall due to complications with the book bundle, introductions of new team members leading the transition, and the importance of starting preparations early. Several tools and resources available for faculty, such as the Canvas Faculty Essentials training, Panopto for video content, and accessibility toolkits are discussed. The session concludes with a Q&A segment addressing common concerns and the logistics of the transition process.
