Canvas Ideas & Themes
This feature allows all Canvas users to suggest and prioritize ideas for updates to the LMS. If there is a feature you'd like to see, suggest an idea and vote on existing themes and ideas. Canvas is currently revising the way they allow feedback to be provided; we will share more information about the updated process when we know more.
Quality Assurance in Online Courses
UIS subscribes to Quality Matters and has adopted a customized version of the research-based QM rubric for course quality assurance. Individual instructors or entire programs may request to have their courses reviewed.
