We have our Canvas installation and are in the process of configuring and testing it. We anticipate being done with the testing by the end of August if all goes well. As we said before, our plan is to load all fall classes into Canvas. We’ve asked people to test it for us and will want feedback from them but anyone is welcome to use it. As soon as we get it configured, we’ll start working on training materials. If you plan on using Canvas in the fall, there are a couple of caveats though…..if you do choose to use it, it is with the understanding that we’ll all be learning so you can expect a few bumps in the road. The second one….because we’ll be testing until the end of August, there will be a tight turn around time for fall. And finally, all the training materials may not be ready. Right now, we’re working on a training course that we’ll enroll everyone in. Our training videos will probably take most of fall quarter to complete. If you’re willing to live with that, you’re welcome to use it.
We’ll have face-to-face training sessions scheduled as soon as we can, hopefully by the end of August. We have two sessions scheduled for opening week. We’ll update you on our progress.
