Canvas guide and migration update

The Centre for Education and Innovation is pleased to announce the Canvas migration has commenced and the recently developed Canvas Experience Guide is now available.

The next stage of the Canvas Implementation Project involves migrating all undergraduate and remaining postgraduate course units from LEO to Canvas.

This migration process will be broken down into three iterations:

• Iteration 1: August 2023 - October 2023
  Terms: Summer Term 4, ACU Thrive (select first year units), Professional Terms 1, 2 and 3.
  
  

• Iteration 2: November 2023 - February 2024
  Terms: Semester 1. TBC after completion of Iteration 1
  
  

• Iteration 3: March 2024 - May 2024
  Terms: Semester 2, TBC after completion of Iteration 2

Lecturers-in-Charge will be responsible for reviewing migrated courses and will receive the suite of ‘Canvas Essentials’ training, a range of support resources, and direct one-one-one support for the quality assurance process.
