As part of the multi-year transition to Canvas, instructors will need to migrate their course content from Moodle or Blackboard to the new LMS, Canvas. Click on a tile below to learn more about the offered migration options. As of May 3, 2024, Concierge Migration is no longer available.
Manual Migration
Request a manual migration, which takes a few business days, but may require you to fix content.
Request a manual migration (select Content-Copy Migration at the end of the form) of your Moodle/Blackboard course into a Canvas workspace within a few business days.
Quality
This is a manual process performed on-campus with no fixes. Depending on how your course was designed in your previous LMS it could require substantial remediation.
Timing
Manual migrations can happen within a few business days of making the request. These migrations can take more time than concierge migrations as no remediation will be done prior to receiving the course from IDEAS. IDEAS is available to answer questions and brainstorm ideas, but cannot perform remediations in individual courses.
Build-it-Yourself
Request a blank course workspace - take advantage of Canvas features by starting from scratch.
Request a blank course workspace by emailing @email with your request and build your course from scratch, exactly the way you want it.
Quality
Every learning management system is different, building from scratch will allow you to leverage Canvas' best features and take a thoughtful approach to building a high quality course.
Timing
This option could take a long time as instructors will be planning and implementing their ideas from scratch. However, you can get started within a few business days of requesting your workspace. Instructors can also build directly in their SPIRE-linked course, if they have already requested one. IDEAS is available to answer questions and brainstorm ideas.
