Creating an engaging and robust online learning experience for students is more critical than ever. For many institutions, that means confronting the reality of migrating to an LMS platform that their students and faculty will feel most comfortable and confident using. In this session, you’ll learn about the approach Wake Forest University took to successfully migrate course content, archive student data, and implement a new LMS campus-wide. Specifically, this session will dive into WFU’s strategy and how the institution coalesced around a collective plan to gain faculty buy-in; formed a steering committee with the help of university leadership; considered and evaluated several LMS platforms; methodically rolled out Canvas throughout the institution; and migrated all course content seamlessly and quickly. Lastly, WFU will share lessons learned about migrating to a new LMS platform and advice for other institutions.
