CSC to begin switch to Canvas in fall

During the general assembly of Student Senate and CAB, Student Senate President Isioma Akwanamnye announced that CSC would be transitioning from Sakai to Canvas, an online course management site, in the fall. 

During the fall 2022 and spring 2023 semesters, professors will have the choice to put their classes on Sakai or on Canvas, Akwanamnye said. By summer 2023, all classes will be moved to Canvas. 

Tishina Mindemann, CAB adviser and teaching, learning and professional education center instructional technology and design specialist, said she will be helping move classes to Canvas. 

“Don’t worry about not knowing where your course is going to be,” she said. “If an instructor decides to use Canvas, we will put a link to that Canvas course in Sakai and if an instructor decides to use Sakai, we will put a link to the Sakai course in Canvas.” 

Mindemann said that videos to help navigate Canvas are already being created for students to use next semester.
