Q: Will there be overlap between the time we get Canvas and when Angel goes away?
A: Short answer, yes but we can't talk specifics until the contract is signed. Your eLearning committee rep can fill you in on what we've been discussing to date.
Q: Do you have an idea of how long Angel will be available to us?
A: Our contract with them runs from 7/1 to 6/30. So Angel will be with us at least until the end of next spring quarter (2013).

Questions 3/30/12
Q: How will training be handled?
A: We'll run hands on sessions starting as soon as we can and for as long as needed. We'll also create training videos for users as we did for Angel. As soon as we know when Canvas will be available to us, we'll start scheduling training sessions.
Q: Will we be able to transfer our Angel classes?
A: The short answer is yes. We don't know exactly how that will look until the final contract with Canvas is signed.
Q: Can we begin loading class material onto the free demo site?
A: OK to do it to try out some of your class materials.but I wouldn't put too much effort into it. The free site doesn't have all the features that are in their production site. If some of your stuff doesn't work, that could well be the reason why.

Canvas at Green River
As of today 3/30/12 the state board is in contract negotiations with Canvas. Nothing is final until the contract is signed. We won't be able to make plans for our transition until we know how the contract reads. As soon as we understand the contract, we'll begin our planning with the help of the eLearning Committee.
As questions come in, I'll post them and my answers here.
