On May 14, the Office of Distance Education and eLearning (ODEE) began the decommissioning process for the Desire2Learn (D2L) system. As part of this process, D2L content is no longer available to faculty, staff or students.
Canvas has been fully adopted as the learning management system (LMS) behind Carmen. To get the most out of this new LMS, ODEE staff are accompanying 21 individuals to InstructureCon in Colorado from July 25-27. A wide variety of lecturers, professors, instructional designers and support staff from across the university will be attending this spy-themed conference. The experience will allow instructors to embark on a mission to gather Canvas intel to share with their colleges and departments.
The Office of Distance Education and eLearning partnered with The Ohio State University's School of Music to help its faculty integrate CarmenCanvas into their courses.
