Description

In 2023, Harvey Mudd College (HMC) embarked on a journey to transition from Sakai to Canvas, aiming not only to enhance the digital teaching and learning experience but also to navigate the distinct challenges of aligning with the broader Claremont Colleges consortium while preserving the institution’s rigorous, collaborative academic environment. This session will tell the story of this transition—the motivations, challenges, and the valuable lessons learned along the way. Attendees will gain insights into the decision-making process, faculty engagement strategies, and the technical considerations that made this transition a success. Whether your institution is in the early stages of Canvas evaluation or actively migrating, this session will provide practical strategies and firsthand experiences to guide you through a smooth transition.
