Three things to know about Canvas:
1) We’ve started the campus changeover from CCLE to Canvas. A dedicated Health Sciences Leader will be hired soon to work specifically with Nursing (and others) for a smooth transition for all courses by Winter 2022. Stay tuned for regular meetings.
2) To latch on to new technology, we have an SON Early Adopter group. I need at least one more faculty member to join the SON Canvas Early Adopter Team. FACULTY: Let me know if you’d like to join us!

Special shout out to our staff early adopters: Thanks for transferring the Nurse Specialty Coaching and the Prelicensure Faculty CCLE sites into Canvas right now!
3) What can you do as staff and faculty to be ready for all this change? Attend live trainings.
