During the past fiscal year, IT Learning Systems (ITLS) and Technology-enhanced Learning & Online Strategies (TLOS) worked closely with the Office of Institutional Effectiveness to revamp the assessment processes related to Virginia Tech’s Pathways General Education program. ITLS built and deployed a new Canvas tool for Pathways which allows instructors to assess how students are doing in these core courses, providing a data workflow for instructors and administrators.

In addition, ITLS added five new third-party integrations to Canvas, supporting students in a variety of disciplines. These include:

  • Canvas Alignment Tool. Sponsored by VetMed, this tool allows for more efficient curriculum management.
  • Crowdmark, a tool for online and paper-based assessment which especially shines for mathematics.
  • KHP Content provides another publisher integration, this one specifically for Kendall Hunt materials.
  • RegisterBlast helps in administration of testing centers, specifically deployed for Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD).
  • RosettaStone language learning, sponsored by University Libraries.
