As George Mason University transitions from Blackboard to Canvas, it is crucial to keep students informed about which learning management system (LMS) you will be using this semester. Clear communication will help minimize confusion and ensure that students can access course materials and resources without issues.
To assist in this process, please include the statement below in any communications you send in preparation for the semester or on your syllabus. By proactively sharing this information, you will help facilitate a smoother transition for your students and contribute to a more effective learning experience.
Please take care to choose “Blackboard” or “Canvas”, not both, before sending the message.
Communication and Syllabus Statement:
Important Notice: This course will be hosted on [Blackboard/Canvas] for the Fall 2024 semester. Please ensure you are familiar with accessing and navigating this platform.
Resources and support are available at: https://lms.gmu.edu/getting-started-students/ to help you get started. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out to me or contact the ITS Support Center for assistance.
