Carmen (D2L) to Canvas updates

ODEE will present a 60-minute custom workshop for College of Nursing faculty and staff with an additional half hour at the end of the workshop (2:00-2:30) for individual questions.  The ODEE facilitators will cover how to export a course from Carmen and import it into Canvas, and they’ll explore the scenarios under which you might want to start fresh (instead of bulk importing all of your old Canvas content).  They’ll cover basic Canvas functions and answer your questions about Canvas features.  No registration page is available at this time—just plan on attending!

Need more information about the Carmen Smart Landing Page?  It seems to be changing on a moment-by-moment basis, but you can find the latest information about the new landing page for your Carmen/Canvas courses in this ODEE article.  You can now add users to your courses by clicking on the gear icon to the right of your course title on the landing page.  To do so, do not enter the course by clicking on its title; click on the gear icon to the right of the course title on your Smart Landing Page.

Here’s a link to the old Carmen (D2L) interface, just in case you need it.  Please refer to our Frequently Asked Questions page in our CONtech blog for more information.

According to ODEE, you will see your Autumn 2016 courses appear on the Smart Landing Page “in the next week or so.”

Please see this information-packed page from ODEE, and be sure to attend the May 17 workshop (mentioned above).  These two resources are great first steps toward moving your course from Carmen (D2L) to Canvas.

Faculty will be responsible for course design and navigation/flow in Canvas, but don’t let technical troubles with Canvas stand in your way!  We are fortunate to have our graduate student, Phil Newman, available during the summer to assist with the technical tasks related to transitioning your course from D2L to Canvas.  Please contact me directly to request Phil’s assistance with moving courses from D2L to Canvas.

Your Canvas interface and functionality may appear to be changing minute by minute, mostly because it is doing exactly that.  John Pryba and I do not yet have all the Carmen Affiliate abilities we had in Carmen (D2L) to help you, but feel free to email us with any questions.  If you need to go directly to Carmen Support with your question, you can email canvas-support@osu.edu.
