Dear Blackboard Mailing List Member,
The University of Miami is reviewing Canvas a an alternative Learning Management System to Blackboard. Canvas is the principal competitor to Blackboard so we want to look at it prior to June 1, 2018, which is the end of our current Blackboard contract.
If you would like to see what Canvas looks like, please watch "The Canvas Story," a 15 minute YouTube video " Another nice overview of Canvas can be found in the "Canvas Interface Overview," a 6 minute long video.
For more details on the Learning Management System (Canvas) Review process, visit https://lpt.it.miami.edu/lms-review/
A pilot will be held this fall where around 20 faculty will use Canvas to support a course rather than using Blackboard. If you might be interested in being part of this pilot, see the information at https://lpt.it.miami.edu/pilot-invitation/ which contains links to the Details and Expectations page as well as the Participation Request Form.
If you have any questions about the review process or pilot, please contact Brett Stephens (brett@miami.edu, 305-284-5328).
Sincerely,
Bill
