Pilot participants will share initial impressions, feedback at the semester midpoint, and their overall experience with Canvas once the term has completed. Spring semester is the second of two rounds piloting the Canvas LMS. The combined data from both pilots will help inform us on how to make Carmen better for future Buckeyes, beginning in autumn 2016.
