We are excited to announce two new Canvas features that are nearing release by our friends at Harvard Teaching and Learning Technologies. 

The first feature is a tool to provide more autonomy to Faculty when migrating files from previous course iSites.  Once released, anyone with a teacher-level role in a Canvas course (this includes Faculty, FSS, and TFs) will be able to copy the files from a previous semester's iSite, into the current semester's Canvas course.  Once copied over, files and readings can be re-used without having to upload everything manually.

TLT will also release a course information tool that updates your Canvas site with information from HGSE's Registrar.  No more manual formatting or copy-pasting the current information into Canvas, all of it will be facilitated automatically through this new tool.

We expect that both of these tools will be made available within the next two weeks.  Be sure to bookmark or subscribe to our Blog for more information on feature releases and updates from The Canvas Team!
