At the recommendation of the University-wide Faculty <em>LMS Succession Committee, <\/em>Instructure Canvas has been selected as the next campus LMS.  The last day Sakai will be available for teaching is <strong>May 9, 2022<\/strong> and the last day faculty and staff will have access to content in Sakai is <strong>January 23, 2023<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Why the Move Away from Sakai?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The OIT Teaching &amp; Learning Technologies Team (TLT) and the Learning Management Guidance Council (LMGC), with the guidance of ND Learning, have conducted a landscape scan of the LMS marketplace, including a detailed capabilities analysis and peer benchmarking along with faculty and student experience surveys and focus groups here at Notre Dame. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sakai platform has diminished significantly in the past five years, now retaining only 1% market share in US higher education. This means that fewer developers, publishers, and third-party tool vendors are attending to Sakai, a downward trend that is likely to continue. At the same time, new easy-to-use platforms with powerful features are flourishing at our peer institutions and throughout higher education. As such, the Provost\u2019s Office has accepted the recommendation that we move to replace Sakai, beginning in Spring 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Canvas is the Future of ND LMS<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/lmstransition\/faculty-lms-succession-committee\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/lmstransition\/faculty-lms-succession-committee\/\">Faculty LMS Succession Committee <\/a>recommended to the Provost\u2019s Office that Canvas should be the successor of choice to replace the current campus LMS, Sakai. In arriving at a recommendation, the Committee considered the following criteria, all with an eye toward ensuring that we select the LMS with the most potential to enhance teaching and learning at Notre Dame.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ease of use for both instructors and students<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Academic and pedagogical factors, e.g. content management; tests, quizzes, and assignments, communication and collaboration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Functional capability, e.g. course migration and backup, interface personalization, accessibility, vendor support<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Technical matters, e.g. mobile functionality, integration of 3rd party tools<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expandability, e.g. use of LMS in advising, use by the library<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>After a thorough review of the multitude of qualitative and quantitative data collected over the pilot period, overwhelmingly, students, faculty, and members of the Committee all agree that Canvas is the superior product and thus recommend that it be selected as Notre Dame\u2019s next LMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"71\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/lmstransition\/files\/2020\/11\/Canvas-LMS_sm.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-83\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>How was the decision to go with Canvas made?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure that the voice of the faculty is paramount in the selection of the next platform, we have empaneled a University-wide <em>Faculty LMS Succession Committee<\/em> with representatives from the Colleges and Schools and from elected governance bodies.
