CSUEB Canvas Course Template Overview
Content Creation
Canvas is a dynamic LMS similar to Blackboard in its capabilities. Yes, we will have access to the tools that we use now that are integrated into Blackboard via an external link (LTI integration).
Activities using the tools that are native to Blackboard like Wikis, Journals, and Blogs will be migrated to Canvas in the form of an Assignment.
Other Assignments and Discussion Forums come to Canvas configured very closely to its Blackboard predecessor.
All active faculty have access to a Sandbox course with helpful sample content for getting started in Canvas. If you do not see one on your login dashboard please contact Online Campus (canvas@csueastbay.edu) to set one up for you.
Migration
ORG’s and Master courses will complete their migration by the middle of July.
Org's are on the roadmap for 'reconfiguration' in Canvas by the beginning of the Fall 2022 term.
