Greetings, Faculty Colleagues –
See below for the most recent monthly installment of Canvas updates for faculty. It鈥檚 an exciting time as work accelerates in advance of our Summer 2026 go-live.
- ITD and MTSU Online staff do not have capacity to convert courses for faculty, but they will provide support and help teach faculty听how听to convert their courses to Canvas. Please refer to the听Canvas Resources for Faculty听webpage and video recordings of previous Canvas trainings on the听.
- Register for our Canvas Training Intensive Retreat听May 12-15, offered both听in-person听and remotely on听Zoom. Our听Canvas听Intensive听will听assist听faculty in preparing their courses for summer 2026 and beyond. You may register for one or more days, or you may register for specific sessions on each day. To register for the May 2026听Canvas听Intensive,听.
- The batch of K16 custom course migrations听requested by March 6 is now available in听. K16 migrated courses are clearly indicated as 鈥淢igration鈥� on the course card in your Canvas account.
- Even if your course has been migrated by K16, it will not be 鈥渞eady to go.鈥� Faculty need to review their migrated course content, quizzes, assessments, etc., and choose a layout for their courses in Canvas. (e.g., One of our Canvas Early adopters spent 10 hours working on her K16 migrated fully online course for spring 2026.)
- Still need your course(s) migrated from D2L to Canvas? We have some space for additional K16 course migrations, but the migration process takes 4-6 weeks. The last round of migration requests (a听very limited number) is due by听June 12th, and because of the late date, we cannot guarantee that these courses will be migrated before the Fall 2026 term begins. If you’d like to submit a request for the final course migration, complete the听听for EACH course that needs to be migrated; you will need the听course URL, Instructor name, M number, and Department for each course.听
- If you’d like to migrate your own course content from D2L to Canvas, refer to听the guidelines in this听pdf听and听.
- Summer and Fall 2026 course听shells听are visible in听. These are just shells, without course content, but you听can听import and build听content听anytime.
- Students (including all GAs and GTAs)听cannot access D2L after May 15, 2026, but faculty permissions are active through听December听31, 2026.听
- You may refer to the previous Canvas transition update emails听here.
When looking for your migrated course, look for the Migration term listed on the course card in the Canvas Dashboard.
