Ithaca College

Greetings Campus Community, 

Based on your feedback, the Learning Management System (LMS) Selection Advisory Committee has finalized two products to further review;: Canvas (Instructure) and Brightspace (D2L). We will be holding live demonstrations (that will be recorded) with the finalist next week.

In each of the sessions, the vendor will provide an introduction of their company. The vendors will have the opportunity to showcase what makes their company and technology unique. Following the general introduction, the vendors will go into specific scenarios that were developed by faculty, staff, and student members of the action committee and advisory group. Then, there will be an opportunity for you to ask questions.
