Description

Making the switch from Blackboard to Canvas can feel overwhelming, but this session will provide practical tips and tricks helping to make the transition a smooth one.

Attendees will explore the most common sticking points such as:

  • Learning to “speak” Canvas – mapping Blackboard terms to Canvas.
  • The Gradebook, and how to make it behave more like the familiar Grade Center.
  • Module management – (Adaptively) Releasing, etc.
  • Providing a second attempt for a single student on an Assignment – a workaround.
  • And more!

Whether new to Canvas or in the early stages of the transition, faculty and instructional staff will leave with actionable steps to simplify their move from Blackboard to Canvas with confidence!
