Summer 2025 Term Updates

There will be several updates to CarmenCanvas before the start of Summer Term.

These changes will take place on May 1st:

• The BUX Themes will be implemented for both Canvas instances (CarmenCanvas and ScarletCanvas). These stylistic changes are aimed at making the digital experience at Ohio State more consistent. You can read more in this article about BUX coming to CarmenCanvas.
• After updates which addressed user concerns with Speedgrader and Instructor workflow, Discussion Checkpoints will be re-enabled for CarmenCanvas. There is also now an option to switch between individual student contributions and the full discussion board.
• An updated OneDrive LTI will be added to CarmenCanvas. New links from your course to content you've stored in OneDrive will be more easily available to your students. Links created with the old LTI will continue to function.
• The Zoom Canvas LTI will be updated. When students join a Zoom meeting from within Carmen, they will automatically be logged in, rather than joining the meeting as guests.
