Since the successful soft launch of Canvas this September, the Learning Technology Environment Renewal Team has been continuing to work towards the full implementation of our new online learning platform.
Instructors who have been waiting patiently for a particular tool to be integrated with Canvas can now check out the updated tool integration timeline to see the full list of Canvas integrations that we’re aiming to have ready for January 2018. As you’ll see on this list, we’ve set some ambitious goals—we plan to integrate a total of twelve tools with Canvas by the start of next term. Our top priority will be to have ready a number of tools that are in high demand, including iPeer, UBC Blogs, CoursEval, and WebWork.
Our list of planned integrations also includes a number of “tentative goals.” We hope to have tools such as Crowdmark, Turnitin, and VoiceThread added to Canvas by January, but it’s important to note that unexpected technical issues may cause delays for some planned tool integrations.
If you’re looking Canvas resources, UBC has a new central landing page for all things Canvas: about.canvas.ubc.ca. From this page, users can log into Canvas or visit UBC’s Canvas website for students or the website for faculty.
