As EEE Legacy tools are retired, this list will be updated to identify which Canvas or other campus tools serve as replacements. In cases where no suitable replacement is available, we’ve done our best to identify alternatives.
Contents
Calendar
EEE Legacy Calendar was retired at the end of Summer 2018. Canvas has a calendar feature that includes options for scheduling course events and having students sign-up for timelines. GrandCentral has a calendar download feature to replace the download EEE Calendar provided for students.
Chat
EEE Legacy Chat was retired at the end of Spring 2018. Canvas offers two tools that are good options for synchronous online conversations: Conferences (for video and audio) or Chat.

MyEEE
MyEEE was placed into a pre-retirement state after Summer 2018. This means that MyEEE is still available, but customization has been disabled and some components are no longer available.
Announcements
Canvas offers an Announcements tool that can be used to distribute time-sensitive information.
Classmates
The MyEEE Classmates feature incorporated official, campus ID photos and allowed students to control how much of their information would be shown to their classmates. Unfortunately, Canvas does not have a mechanism for populating official photos on students’ behalf. For the time-being, the University Registrar continues to provide photos as part of the WebRoster service.
Dashboard
The MyEEE dashboard view, which was intended to provide an alternative way of viewing at-a-glance information about a class and its EEE tool use, was not widely used and was retired after Summer 2018.
Mobile
EEE’s mobile interface was primarily designed for reference, rather than course content interaction, and largely replicated basic features of MyEEE. The EEE mobile interface was retired after Summer 2018. Canvas has a series of mobile apps that not only allow access to course information, but also support interaction with classmates and participation in course activities https://community.canvaslms.com/community/answers/guides/mobile-guide
Tasks
EEE’s task list has been removed. Canvas provide a to-do list highlighting tasks with upcoming deadlines.
Planner
EEE Legacy Planner was retired at the end of Summer 2018. The Canvas Calendar is available as an alternative way to provide schedule information.
ReplayPublisher (Podcasts)
EEE Legacy ReplayPublisher (Podcasts) was retired at the end of Spring 2018. UCI Replay recordings can be distributed either by sharing a direct link (for example, sending an email to a class mail list with the appropriate link) or posting a link on a Canvas page.
RoomFinder
EEE Legacy RoomFinder was retired at the end of Spring 2018. Detailed and up-to-date campus building information for the main campus, north campus, and medical center is available via the interactive campus map.
