<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nMTSU is changing our learning management system (LMS). We are switching from D2L Brightspace to Canvas from Instructure. We will have a full Canvas implementation and use beginning in Summer 2026. A few intrepid \u201cearly adopter\u201d faculty will use Canvas in Spring 2026. Please visit the Canvas Transition Project website<\/a> to see the full timeline, read the answers to frequent questions (FAQ), see a summary of why we switched, and learn what you can do to get started now, learning to use Canvas<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nProvost Mark Byrnes made this decision to change after an extensive and comprehensive review and evaluation of LMS features by a team of faculty, staff, and students<\/a>. We appreciate all the efforts of people across campus in determining what best fits the needs of our students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality Matters (QM) is the gold standard in online course and program development, design, and delivery. What are five reasons we use QM? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Clarity and Confidence for Faculty \u2013 QM provides a clear, research-based framework for designing your online course, making the process less overwhelming.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Better Learning Experiences for students \u2013 QM\u2019s standards ensure your course is organized, consistent, and accessible, helping students navigate your course with ease.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Academic Rigor with Student-Centered Design \u2013 QM encourages alignment between objectives, content, activities, and assessments so that everything students do in the course directly supports their success.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Institutional Credibility & Continuous Improvement \u2013 Courses that align with QM demonstrate a commitment to academic excellence, accessibility, and continuous quality improvement \u2013 key indicators for accreditation, retention, and reputation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Support Every Step of the Way \u2013 QM isn\u2019t extra work; it\u2019s supported work with the help of an Instructional Designer trained in QM to guide you through each step.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\nOnline Student Satisfaction Survey Results<\/h1>\n\n\n\n\n\nEach academic year, MTSU Online surveys our online students to receive valuable feedback about the courses, programs, and student support services provided. We were pleased to find that 90% of respondents reported being highly or generally satisfied with their overall online experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of the online student support services offered, the Library and Academic Advising are ranked as the two most used student services by online students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also received some positive qualitative feedback from our online students. Of the suggestions received, offering more online classes and being more consistent in online class design were prevalent themes. Here is a short capturing of responses from our respondents: \u201cMTSU already does a great job for online learning!\u201d, \u201cI\u2019m glad MTSU Online is there. I would not have been able to graduate in May without it\u201d, and \u201cMy professors are very available and scaffold learning in such a way that I am engaged and can reflect on what I have learned throughout the course.\u201d These statistics and comments are a credit to our faculty and the excellent work you do with students. We celebrate these achievements and thank you all for making it possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n\n\n\nSwitching to Canvas <\/h1>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nMTSU is changing our learning management system (LMS). We are switching from D2L Brightspace to Canvas from Instructure. We will have a full Canvas implementation and use beginning in Summer 2026. A few intrepid \u201cearly adopter\u201d faculty will use Canvas in Spring 2026. Please visit the Canvas Transition Project website<\/a> to see the full timeline, read the answers to frequent questions (FAQ), see a summary of why we switched, and learn what you can do to get started now, learning to use Canvas<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nProvost Mark Byrnes made this decision to change after an extensive and comprehensive review and evaluation of LMS features by a team of faculty, staff, and students<\/a>. We appreciate all the efforts of people across campus in determining what best fits the needs of our students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality Matters (QM) is the gold standard in online course and program development, design, and delivery. What are five reasons we use QM? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Clarity and Confidence for Faculty \u2013 QM provides a clear, research-based framework for designing your online course, making the process less overwhelming.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Better Learning Experiences for students \u2013 QM\u2019s standards ensure your course is organized, consistent, and accessible, helping students navigate your course with ease.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Academic Rigor with Student-Centered Design \u2013 QM encourages alignment between objectives, content, activities, and assessments so that everything students do in the course directly supports their success.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Institutional Credibility & Continuous Improvement \u2013 Courses that align with QM demonstrate a commitment to academic excellence, accessibility, and continuous quality improvement \u2013 key indicators for accreditation, retention, and reputation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Support Every Step of the Way \u2013 QM isn\u2019t extra work; it\u2019s supported work with the help of an Instructional Designer trained in QM to guide you through each step.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\nOnline Student Satisfaction Survey Results<\/h1>\n\n\n\n\n\nEach academic year, MTSU Online surveys our online students to receive valuable feedback about the courses, programs, and student support services provided. We were pleased to find that 90% of respondents reported being highly or generally satisfied with their overall online experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of the online student support services offered, the Library and Academic Advising are ranked as the two most used student services by online students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also received some positive qualitative feedback from our online students. Of the suggestions received, offering more online classes and being more consistent in online class design were prevalent themes. Here is a short capturing of responses from our respondents: \u201cMTSU already does a great job for online learning!\u201d, \u201cI\u2019m glad MTSU Online is there. I would not have been able to graduate in May without it\u201d, and \u201cMy professors are very available and scaffold learning in such a way that I am engaged and can reflect on what I have learned throughout the course.\u201d These statistics and comments are a credit to our faculty and the excellent work you do with students. We celebrate these achievements and thank you all for making it possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n\n\n\nOnline Student Satisfaction Survey Results<\/h1>\n\n\n\n\n\nEach academic year, MTSU Online surveys our online students to receive valuable feedback about the courses, programs, and student support services provided. We were pleased to find that 90% of respondents reported being highly or generally satisfied with their overall online experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of the online student support services offered, the Library and Academic Advising are ranked as the two most used student services by online students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also received some positive qualitative feedback from our online students. Of the suggestions received, offering more online classes and being more consistent in online class design were prevalent themes. Here is a short capturing of responses from our respondents: \u201cMTSU already does a great job for online learning!\u201d, \u201cI\u2019m glad MTSU Online is there. I would not have been able to graduate in May without it\u201d, and \u201cMy professors are very available and scaffold learning in such a way that I am engaged and can reflect on what I have learned throughout the course.\u201d These statistics and comments are a credit to our faculty and the excellent work you do with students. We celebrate these achievements and thank you all for making it possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

We appreciate all the efforts of people across campus in determining what best fits the needs of our students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
