Reminder: ReggieNet-to-Canvas course migration deadline is Monday, July 24
The following message was emailed to instructors and staff on 07/19/2023
Dear Instructor,
Time is running out to ensure you have all of the course materials you need in Canvas in time to teach for fall… and beyond. The deadline to request to have your old courses in ReggieNet copied and placed in Canvas is Monday, July 24, 2023. This includes migrations for any course you may teach in semesters after the fall of 2023, including Summer 2023 courses.
For-credit course migration
You can request to migrate a ReggieNet for-credit course site (i.e., courses with catalogue numbers) using this form. It may take up to several weeks to migrate a course. Requests made after July 24 may not be completed before the start of the fall semester.
Should you migrate a course?
Migration may be the best option for instructors who wish to have the full structure of an old ReggieNet course transferred to Canvas, especially if the course makes extensive use of ReggieNet Tests & Quizzes, Lessons, Assignment, or Discussion tools.
However, many instructors from the spring pilot program found it easier to simply pull their content manually from ReggieNet and build out their courses in Canvas themselves.
You can learn more about backup vs. migration on our frequently asked questions page.
Special Use sites
Some ReggieNet sites are not tied to courses, but rather, were created to support departmental programs, special training programs, or registered student organizations. In Canvas, these are called "Special Use Sites." These sites do have some limitations, however-- for example, Canvas Special Use sites can only be used by current Illinois State students or employees.
Please consult this guide to browse options and request the transfer of content, if needed.
