Canvas Recommendation

Canvas

During the Summer ’15, Fall ’15 and Spring ’16, Canvas, a learning management system (LMS) was piloted in over 61 courses. During the pilot, feedback was gathered from faculty and students as to how Canvas met the needs for teaching and learning at Rice University. The newly formed Information Technology Council Academic Technologies subcommittee, chaired and seated with faculty members, talked to their colleagues about what they use in an LMS. After much discussion and feedback, the committee unanimously voted to recommend the university move to Canvas as its LMS beginning in Fall ’16. To read the committee’s recommendation report or for information on using Canvas, training, and migrating courses from OWL-Space to Canvas, visit our web site.
