Canvas Overview:

Canvas will be replacing Schoology as our new Learning Management System (LMS) and will go live at the start of fall semester this coming August! We couldn’t be more excited to bring this state-of-the-art LMS to Wheaton! 

This is a big transition and requires a considerable amount of time to set up courses in the new system. As much as we have tried, we’ve not found an ‘easy’ button; Schoology cartridges do not transfer nicely to Canvas. Faculty members, please be sure to sign up for training as soon as you can!

Slate (Admissions CRM) 

The Wheaton College graduate and undergraduate admissions departments have been working hard to complete the migration from Ellucian CRM Recruit to Slate. Slate represents the state of the art in student recruiting and application management. We are already seeing the fruits of this change. Applications have been coming in steadily and are being processed more efficiently. Slate’s portal functionality will also provide a better experience for admitted students. A complete transition from the old system to Slate will be done by March 2023.
