Canvas Meets ILP

Thanks to the collaborative efforts of the IT Department, the Registrar's Office, and the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL), beginning Fall 2024, we are pleased to announce the integration of Ellucian's Intelligent Learning Platform (ILP) to our workflow. This implementation will enable real-time updates between Colleague and Canvas, eliminating the two-hour delay for students to see changes to their course schedules. ILP will serve as a communication bridge, ensuring seamless information transfer between these systems. 

Key Benefits:

  • Real-Time Updates: No more two hour waiting window
  • Grades: Faculty will now be able to enter midterm and final grades within Canvas

Changes:

Display Names: Display names will be overridden by your name of use in Colleague.

  • Students and Faculty who go by a preferred name should now email the Registrar at registration@westernwyoming.edu to request a display name change in Canvas. 

Cross Listing Courses

Courses with a lab component can no longer be crosslisted in Canvas. To hide these lab courses from your dashboard, please see the resource below.

How to by CTL

Grade Passback

    • Instructors can now enter grades using "Ellucian Grade Passback 1.3"
    • This tool is located on your course ribbon and is only accessible to the instructor of record.
    • Both Midterm and Final grades may be entered here
    • After entering grades, hit submit and verify within Self-Service that the grades have carried over successfully.

Grading, Things of Note:

  • Larger course rosters may take longer to load. If the roster doesn't load, reach out to the CTL for support.
  • You will still need to complete census through self-service.
  • Cross-listed sections will not differentiate the section the student is in on the grade display screen; for this reason, labs and courses may no longer be cross-listed.
