Canvas Common Dashboard will be Realized Soon!

As a member of the Wyoming LMS Consortium Wyo Courses 2.0, and on behalf of LCCC, the CET is excited to announce that Phase IV testing has begun for the unified Canvas dashboard! We are joined in the consortium by our partners in higher education, Central Wyoming College, Eastern Wyoming College, Sheridan College, Western Wyoming Community College, and University of Wyoming. Additionally, Wyoming Department of Education, Laramie County School District #1, and Weston County School District #7 are also partners in  this work.

The Goal

The consortium team has been working diligently with Instructure to produce a unified Canvas dashboard. This means that a student enrolled in courses at more than one of the member institutions and/or school districts would be able to log in to Canvas using any of their available credentials and see all their enrollments!

The Testing (Phase IV)

Phase IV testing is focused on the Canvas LTI (external tools) functionality. Our testing will be done from the perspective of both student and faculty, including users who are affiliated only with LCCC and those who have multiple affiliations across the consortium. Testing will take place in our live Canvas environment. Don’t be worried! Tests will only be done using specially created test user accounts and only by the LMS Administrators from each college. Our testing phase will not affect any live user accounts, their ability to see enrollments, or their ability to use Canvas LTIs.

The CET is working closely with the Wyoming LMS Consortium and Instructure during this testing phase and we will continue to provide updates via this blog as we move from one phase to another.
The future of Canvas at LCCC will be unified!
