The transition from ANGEL to Canvas is upon us. All courses must be transitioned to Canvas by fall 2017 and the college of engineering has a variety of opportunities and resources to assist with this transition. The Canvas learning management system provides great technology and resources to improve the delivery of teaching and learning. The transition can be easy by utilizing the COE and University resources and support.
The College of Engineering Canvas Liaisons are available to assist with the process. We’ve put together an introductory training session, called COE Canvas Quick Start, to help you get to work right away. Faculty members are also invited to utilize the COE Canvas Work Sessions to receive personalized support.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
