Get ready for the RaiderCanvas migration! TTU Online is hosting summer camps to help instructors get their courses ready for fall. This session will offer faculty the opportunity to develop a Canvas class. Faculty should identify a course to be developed. This could be a new course prep or a course that has been migrated from Blackboard to Canvas. If a participant plans to work on a migrated course, please export the course from Blackboard to Canvas prior to the Canvas class. To do so, please access the following directions: Moving Courses from Blackboard to Canvas. Additionally, faculty who need to request a development shell can go to the RaiderCanvas Support Portal. Click on Request Something and you’ll see the form for Development Shell Requests. To use your time efficiently in the Canvas Camp, please make sure that you can access your syllabus, assignments, quizzes, or any course content that you would like to add to your fall course. In this camp, TTU Online staff will go guide you through features in Canvas including adding content and creating quizzes and will make sure that you are ready to use A+ Attendance, grant accommodations to students registered through SDS, and grade student submissions. You should complete this camp with a course that is well underway for the fall!
