Why Carmen?

You will see some technology tools used at OSU with the name Carmen.  This is because of OSU branding. It’s named for the song “Carmen, Ohio” – Ohio State’s alma mater. The two major tools with the Carmen name include CarmenCanvas and CarmenZoom.  CarmenCanvas is a learning management system (LMS) where your courses reside. CarmenZoom is OSU’s academic audio and web conferencing software.
