From the beginning of the 2018/19 academic year, Sussex will be using Canvas as the institutional Virtual Learning Environment. Canvas will enhance our capability to offer a truly modern, digital learning experience, combining an intuitive, clean workspace with robust, cloud-based operation and is as easy to use on a mobile as on a desktop computer.

TEL are developing an extensive programme of training and support for academic and professional services staff. We’ll be pulling out all the stops to get everyone ready for the new opportunities in teaching and learning that using Canvas will bring. We are also engaging with USSU on a comprehensive communication plan for all students.

To support our move to Canvas, there is now a dedicated section of the TEL website. We’ll also post regular updates on this blog to keep you on the pulse of the latest developments, right up to September and beyond.

Watch out for more news very soon.
