UIC transition to new Learning Management System

UIC has announced that it will be moving from Blackboard Original & Blackboard Ultra to Canvas as a learning management system. Learning Technology Solutions is the group coordinating this process and they have a detailed plan on their website.

Here are the basics:

  • This summer the Canvas environment for UIC will be assembled and tested with all of the various integrations to other campus systems.
  • Throughout the coming academic year, pilot groups will be building courses.
  • By fall 2026, all courses should be moved to Canvas and all new courses will be set up in Canvas.
