We have about 25 full-time faculty committed to teaching their courses in Canvas for the spring. Paul campus to discuss the trial requirements and demo Canvas to the faculty participants. Canvas Trialįaculty were invited, via email or through personal invitation, to teach a course in Canvas during the Spring 2017 semester.Ī kick-off event was held in December 2016 at the St. After reviewing university needs and survey results, it was decided that the Canvas LMS was the best option. Vendors were invited to campus to demo their product in the spring.

Interest was expressed in the Canvas LMS.

BlackBoard was not held in high regard.

A significant majority felt that BlackBoard was hindering their ability to teach effectively.

The faculty survey results suggested the following points: These vendors were invited to on-campus demonstrations during Spring of 2016, and evaluation data was gathered from faculty through the use of electronic surveys. Market research during that semester identified four options: BlackBoard, Canvas, Moodle, and Desire2Learn. The goal was to identify the university's current LMS needs and identify viable alternatives to BlackBoard that might better serve the teaching and learning goals of the university.

In Fall of 2015, ITS and Faculty Development launched a Learning Management System (LMS) evaluation project.
