Let’s pack up our stuff, and prepare to make the move to our new online home, Canvas! What do you do when you prepare to move? Plan, clean, pack, and make the move! In this four-part series, we will share some tips for making the transition easier.
When you’re moving, you want to make sure you know all the tasks that should be done to make the move. The planning phase of the move to Canvas includes knowing dates, resources, and training sessions that are available. You will also want to request a DEV “sandbox” Canvas course, so that you can begin to get to know Canvas and even move over one of your Blackboard courses (we will cover this in parts 3 and 4 of this series). Here's a checklist for you to plan your move to Canvas!
In case of changes, please be sure to refer to ASU's official page for Canvas deadlines
