Migration Resources
Most course content has already been migrated over to Canvas from Blackboard. Faculty can continue to request content from archived courses. While most content migrates seamlessly, there is some necessary remediation needed after the migration to ensure that the content is ready for students in Canvas.
Visit the Migration Resources page for content request form, migration guides and a remediation checklist.
Canvas Resources for Students
