Faculty Communication

A key part of the migration process is to make sure that we are effectively providing guidance for faculty. It is our intent to be completely transparent in this endeavor. Please check back in often for updates and announcements on our home page.

The Timeline

With a signed contract on June 25, 2020 the Bradley Learn team began its Canvas implementation in earnest. Meetings were schedule with the Instructure Canvas team with an initial onboarding call and scoping/project management soon following on July 10, 2020. With the project management portion complete the Learn team worked its way methodically down the list: creating this site for announcements and advertising in BNews, setting up SSO authentication services, connecting the new systems to Bradley's Student Information System, automating course and user enrollments, creating sandbox and master course sites for faculty, standing up all Bradley supported tools, deploying new tools such as Respondus Lockdown Browser and Monitor, developing asynchronous training for both instructors and students, branding/theming the new LMS, developing a content management strategy, and many other incremental steps. With the deployment of our new url, learn.bradley.edu on August 20, 2020 the initial phases of Canvas deployment were complete. Many thanks go out to all IT departments that played an integral role in making the technical implementation of what amounts to a 3-6 month project achievable in essentially a five-week span. The Learn team continues to research and deploy "new to Bradley" tools in order to best support the University mission and vision moving forward.
