canvas

The migration to Canvas of Semester 1 course unit content has now been completed. Additionally all the 2025/26 teaching spaces – 1SE, 2SE and 1YR – have also been created in Canvas. This now means that semester 1 unit leads and those wishing to build their canvas space from scratch can now begin working on your teaching spaces.  

Semester 1 Migrated Content

Semester 1 course unit spaces have been migrated to Canvas. You can identify these spaces as they have the prefix BB_Migration see below.

Some key points on structure of the Migrated spaces…

  • The left hand menu items and the top level folders from Blackboard will be split into separate Canvas Modules, folders within folders will become indented items within Canvas Modules.
  • Blackboard Left Hand menu items such as – Learning Resources, eLearning Support and Reading Lists online are now part of the Canvas Template which has been applied to your teaching space.

Semester 2 and Full Year courses will be migrated in June.

2025/26 Teaching Spaces

All teaching spaces for the academic year 2025/26 have now been created – this includes Semester 1, Semester 2 and Full year spaces. All teaching spaces have been allocated the UoM Canvas Template. The template has been designed to provide a consistent experience for students across teaching spaces. Using the template within your course is mandatory, if you feel that the template does not suit the design of your course please contact the eLearning team who can assist you.

A teaching unit will display its title with the academic year and semester listed in grey underneath.

What should I do if I cannot see all of my courses in Canvas?

Enrolments for 2025/26 Teaching spaces are taken from Campus Solutions. However, there are still program amendments being approved so some course spaces may still not be fully set up in Campus Solutions yet.

NOTE: As of Thursday 3rd April – there is currently a bug in Campus Solutions affecting the sync of enrolments between Campus Solutions and Canvas – particularly EEEN, PHYS, CHEM and some MATHS units.

If you cannot see a migrated course space or a 2025-26 teaching space in Canvas that you need access to please let eLearning know:

Raise a helpdesk request for FSE eLearning team and choose ‘General Canvas enquiry’. In your helpdesk request please confirm if the space you need to be added to is a migrated course content space or a 2025-26 teaching space and provide the relevant course unit code(s).
