Canvas has successfully supported Yale’s distance and hybrid course offerings since 2014, yet it is a challenge for students and instructors to use Classes*v2 for some courses and Canvas for others. A fall 2015 pilot of Canvas showed a significant majority of instructors and students would prefer to use Canvas over Classes*v2 (Sakai). The University has decided to converge on a single platform for all of our courses. In making this decision, we’re following the lead of many of our peers who have recently adopted Canvas as their campus learning management system: this list includes many of our former partners in the Sakai open-source community, such as Stanford, Michigan, and Indiana.
