OIT and the Canvas Project Team will review progress and consult with the Provost Advisory Committee throughout the Canvas Pilot Project.

Learning Management Directions Review Team

The Canvas Pilot Project has its roots in analysis carried out by the Learning Management Directions Review Team (LMDRT) during Fall 2012 and Winter 2013. The LMDRT was jointly commissioned by the Dean of Undergraduate Education and the Chief Information Officer. It was reconvened in March 2014 to review analysis by OIT’s EEE Development Team which suggested Canvas as a direction to pursue. It is expected that the LMDRT will be brought together periodically during the Canvas Project to provide additional guidance.
