Online LIVE Sessions —The class will meet at a scheduled time and day (synchronous instruction) in an online classroom via Zoom. Students will virtually be in class with their classmates and their live instructor where they will be able to ask questions and interact in real time as if they were in a face-to-face classroom.
During the yearlong migration period before the full phaseout of Blackboard in July 2019, ASU Online students may have classes in both Blackboard and Canvas. This transition phase will give students who have previously only used Blackboard the opportunity to explore Canvas and get a feel for its course navigation structure and functions.
To prepare for the migration to Canvas, students should access their courses as soon as possible and explore the new system. Use the on-demand Canvas student guide, as well as the glossary on Canvas features and their equivalents for current Blackboard users.
Students will continue to access their courses through their My ASU homepage. Should My ASU be inaccessible for any reason, students can also navigate directly to Canvas via canvas.asu.edu.
Blackboard and Canvas are similar in most all of the main functions for students. The systems are a place for students to access content, submit assignments and communicate with the instructor and other students. When it comes to features, there are not significant differences from the student user perspective.
We are addressing areas that could cause confusion with a five-step quality check process. One step is that we will be checking for platform-specific content or directions when interacting with a course.
No, My ASU is not expected to look or act differently as a result of the migration. It will still act as the primary access point for students to enter into courses and that will be seamless, as My ASU will automatically point students to either the Blackboard or Canvas system where their course is located.
The ASU Help Desk is fully trained and has resources for working in both Blackboard and Canvas. With availability online and via phone 24/7, it should be the first stop for students.
NOTE: This is not a good solution for course migrations because there is NO guarantee that all files will import into Canvas without any errors - as such we highly recommend that you import your courses into Canvas and test well before the current Blackboard server is shut down on June 30, 2019.

July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2021 - A Bb Archive server will be set up at ASU, that will allow us to restore a course in Canvas for purposes such as: Grade challenges. Academic integrity issues. Incompletes (to determine what work has been completed) NOT supported. Student access to Archive server.
