Canvas Course Migration

As part of the transition to Canvas, fall courses will be migrated from D2L iLearn during the spring and summer. 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.

Migration Plan

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, and Summer 2027. This process will take place over the next year beginning with the migration of Fall 2026 courses this spring and summer.

Course Preparation

As we prepare 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, 2) Course Files are organized and update to date, and 3) all quizzes have a time limit. These three things will help while we work on migrating course content.
