Canvas Newsletter - Issue 4: Project update and closing out the Fall semester

The campus Canvas transition has started off Fall 2022 with over 1,650 courses taught by over 580 instructors with over 18,000 students enrolled in Canvas courses. We so much appreciate the efforts of these early adopter faculty but are also looking forward toward Spring 2023 and our full move to Canvas in Fall 2023. For Spring 2023, all University courses will be added to Canvas by default. Instructors wishing to continue teaching in iLearn for this semester will need to visit https://classdata.sfsu.edu/ where they can login and shift any or all of their appointed courses back to iLearn.
