Preparing Your Canvas: Round Two... Fight!
I'm writing this after our second Summer Faculty Institute, which I described in Preparing Your Canvas: Starting a new LMS. All of the presenters (myself included) felt more confident and comfortable going through it again. In response to feedback we received from the first LMS (some of which you can check out in…

Preparing Your Canvas: In the Trenches
We just finished our first Summer Faculty Institute, which I described briefly in last week's Preparing Your Canvas: Starting a new LMS. I wanted to take a moment to reflect on what we learned from our maiden voyage and to play with this still (for me, at least) unanswered question: how the heck do you build a Canvas…

Transitioning from Blackboard Outcomes Assessment to Canvas Outcomes
Hello! People who have converted from Blackboard to Canvas, how did you handle the transition between how the Bb Outcomes Assessment tool works vs. how Canvas Outcomes work? Maybe I'm missing it, but I don't see a way to pull a random sample and rate by a reviewer. Advice?

How do I migrate Fill-in-the-Blank quiz questions from Blackboard?
An imported Fill-in-the-Blank quiz question from Blackboard 9.1 contents has an impeditive prefix "RESPONSE_" in the text for the possible answer. (Meanwhile, the multiple points fill in the blank question has no problem. A simple one-point Fill-in-the-Black quiz question only has this problem.) It's in the way of our…

Missing student work when migrating old Moodle course
We're migrating from Moodlerooms to Canvas. I need to re-create an old course with its assignments complete, discussions, etc. I've: * created a course in my test instance, * named it and gave it a Course Code and SIS ID (I used the same code for both), * SIS imported users into the system, * SIS imported enrollment into…

SCORM Issue (Migrating from Bb 9.1 to Canvas)
My institution is in pre-migration mode (moving from Bb 9.1 to Canvas). On our radar as potential issues, ... is a problem with SCORM; as I understand the potential issue, SCORM has a security loophole that would allow JavaScript-savvy students to send a grade manually back to the grade book without having to take an…

Alt Text in Moodle not imported
Hi all We have imported several Moodle courses into Canvas using a Moodle 1.9/2 import. Our experience using IMS CC was less than satisfactory, maybe due to the content types. I have only just found that it appears that Canvas substituted the image file name for the alt text that was present in Moodle. This is just by way…
