Welcome to Canvas!

If you have questions or would like additional information, please contact the OIT Help Desk, helpdesk@rice.edu.
Background:
Starting Fall 2017, all academic courses are on Canvas. Materials migrated from the previous system, Owl-Space, to Canvas were only course materials, no student data was moved over. Owl-Space will continue to be available for archival access to old student data (either directly or by request).
Owl-Space project and collaboration sites are currently being migrated on a case-by-case basis. Access to a variety of tools and solutions already exist and each site will be examined individually to find a suitable replacement. Options include leveraging features of Google, Box, Drupal, EduBlogs, and other supported solutions. Learning Environments staff are contacting owners of these sites to train them on how to migrate their materials to the new solution.
