Canvas Transition Progress

Yale instructors have adopted Canvas at a much faster rate than we had initially predicted, with more than 40% of active course sites using Canvas for fall 2016. Canvas is supporting 802 fall courses taught by 803 instructors and 633 teaching assistants (known as Teaching Fellows), with more than 8,600 students using the platform. We are well on our way to 100% Canvas adoption by fall 2017. Read more: “First Semester of Canvas Sees High Adoption Rate”

Update: Accessibility

Canvas has added an Underline Links option, available in User Settings, which underlines hyperlinks in the Course Navigation and User Navigation menus. Canvas has also made a number of updates to improve compatibility with screen readers.

Tip

Do you need to limit a teaching fellow’s grading to a specific section in an umbrella course? Learn how to implement limits: “How do I limit a user to only view other users in the same course section?”
