Canvas Course Migration
As part of the transition to Canvas, courses for the 2026-2027 academic year will be migrated from D2L iLearn during the summer and fall. An outline of this process as well as next steps can be found below. If you have questions regarding the migration, please email citl@tntech.edu.
- October 30, 2026: Deadline to submit a Course Migration Request Form
- December 10, 2026: Deadline to complete a manual export if you may need assistance from the CITL
- December 31, 2026: Tennessee Tech’s access to iLearn/D2L ends
We highly recommend submitting a migration request by October 30 or following the manual archiving instructions in Module 5.4.1 before the end of
the semester on December 10. Once the university closes for winter break, offices will not reopen until after
our access to D2L iLearn has ended. The CITL will continue to provide support for
faculty organizing imported files in the spring.
Migration Process
To help ensure course content is migrated correctly and efficiently, Tennessee Tech has partnered with K16 and Canvas to migrate courses from D2L iLearn to Canvas for Fall 2026, Spring 2027, Summer 2027, and future semesters. This process began in Spring 2026 with migration of Fall 2026 courses and will continue through the fall. We recommend having all needed content migrated from D2L iLearn prior to December 10. Please review the steps and resources below as we move through this process.
Migration Process
Please review the information below and follow the steps for the process associated with the semester your course content will be offered.
Spring 2027 Courses
The deadline for assisted migration for course content for Spring 2027 has passed. Faculty with course content for Spring 2027 will need to follow the steps outlined for manual migration or schedule a consultation with their college/school's assigned Instructional Designer to review a migration plan.

Course Preparation Checklist
As we continue to migrate courses from D2L iLearn to Canvas, it is important that
faculty review their course materials and ensure their course content is up-to-date
and in an exportable format. This includes:
1) ensuring all video (mp4) content has been transferred to YuJa Media and
2) Course Files are organized and update to date.
These two things will be helpful while we work on migrating course content.
