Implementation of Canvas LMS

Here you will find updated information about the project, as well as details about training opportunities (under “News” further down).

Start Working in Canvas

You can find a shortcut to Canvas under Tools on miun.se or log in directly at canvas.miun.se.

• The Ladok–Canvas connection automatically creates course rooms for all course instances in Ladok.
• Faculty administrators add course coordinators via employee connection in Ladok, who can then find their courses on their Dashboard in Canvas.
• The course coordinator can add additional teachers to the course room.
• Do you want to use a course room for several of Ladok's course instances? Course coordinators can use the Administer course function to arrange co-teaching within Joint courses.
• Course rooms that are not used due to co-teaching should be named with [NOT IN USE] in the course name. A guide for how to do this is available in the Canvas basic course.

Sub-course rooms and programme rooms in Canvas

Do you want to request sub-course rooms in Canvas for the upcoming term? Sub-courses mean that a Ladok course instance of 15 or 30 credits is divided into several separate course rooms. These sub-course rooms must be requested using the order form.

Do you want to request a programme room in Canvas? If your programme does not already have one, you can order it using the order form.

Want to Know More?

For questions about working in Canvas and its features, we recommend the section “Canvas at Mid Sweden University” in the Canvas basic course, which is available to you when you log in to Canvas. There you’ll find information about routines, how we work with templates in Canvas course rooms, and a FAQ.

Project Timeline

The planned timeline for the introduction of the new learning platform is:

• Autumn Term 2024: Technical implementation, where the system is set up and integrated with other systems that need to interact with the platform. Logins for all teachers will be created. There will be different phases with pilot users during Autumn 2024 and pilot courses offered in Canvas in Spring 2025 (on a voluntary basis).
• Autumn Term 2025: All new courses will be created in Canvas.
• Spring Term 2026: On February 28, 2026, Moodle will be set to read-only mode. This means no changes can be made to course rooms or new courses created in Moodle. It will still be possible to read content and retrieve information from Moodle.

Canvas is the learning platform procured by Sunet and is used at around 30 higher education institutions in Sweden.
