Description

Center for Instructional Technology (CIT) coordinated several noteworthy improvements to Canvas, JMU’s hosted LMS solution. Most significantly, CIT activated Canvas Commons, a services that allows Canvas users to share learning resources with other Canvas users and that allows other users to import shared learning resources into their Canvas courses. CIT also installed several new LTIs, including three for proctoring tests, two for integrating publishers’ resources, and one for enforcing SCORM compliancy.
