Each month, Canvas pushes out small updates and continuous improvements to the user experience and available features, for both students and faculty. The ATI Center continuously monitors these updates and - as needed - will communicate any possible impact on your courses.

After an 18-month evaluation of the LMS market and thorough study of Babson’s use of the current system, the college has decided to adopt Canvas as our new LMS. This decision was based on an evaluation by a committee of 12 faculty members and 11 staff, who narrowed the potential platforms to Canvas and Blackboard. The decision to move to Canvas was made in coordination with the Provost, Deans, and CIO. Babson will join myriad other schools who have recently moved to Canvas, including Harvard, Wharton, Stanford, WPI, Boston College, University of New Hampshire, Columbia, and dozens more. The move to Canvas will provide students, faculty and staff with numerous benefits, including:
The transition to Canvas will be implemented in phases, beginning with specific courses and non-academic programs in the Summer of 2019, additional programs in the Fall of 2019, and the remainder in the Spring of 2020. Throughout this process, the ATI Center will be holding training sessions and working closely with faculty on the transition. We are very excited about this move and the opportunities it will provide for us to design and deliver a better teaching and learning experience for our faculty and students, both now and into Babson’s future. Be on the lookout for future announcements about our training offerings. |
