Hey folks,
My college is transitioning from a home-built SIS to Banner (SaaS version). We're wondering how those with both Canvas and Banner handle cross-listings.
I have a hundred potential questions here, but wanted to leave this more open-ended, and just ask for experiences, procedures, workarounds y'all might be willing to share.
Random notes about our current setup, and what we're finding as we dig into Banner:
- We currently use a 'Canvas Interface' built by our programmers which we use to execute cross-listings:
- For multiple sections of the same course (ENGL1, Section 1111, 2222, 3333)
- For two or more differently-named courses (example: ENGL1A can share a shell with ENGL5)
- Those unique cross-listings are done by myself (LMS Admin) upon request, while we have a tool built into our faculty portal which allows instructors to cross-list multiple sections of the same course they're going to teach.
- I've found that Ellucian's Banner UI called 'Experience,' which will replace our faculty portal, does not have functionality for instructors to cross-list anything. It also lacks simple/feasible ways for admins like myself to cross-list.
- We don't have the Teacher permission for cross-listing enabled in Canvas, as it's not granular enough to be practical for us.
For those with Canvas + Banner + Cross-Listing active, how did you set up cross-listing, and is it working well for you?
Has anyone had issues with data from course cross-listed in Canvas not transferring correctly back into Banner, or causing other issues?
Thank you for any comments!
