[ARCHIVED] Making connections

[Boekenoogen]

Does anybody know if Instructure has a public list of all the K-12 and higher ed institutions currently using Canvas?

It would be nice to connect with others near by and share.

 @jrboek , I don’t believe there is a publicly available list. My recommendation is to contact your CSM and check to see if they could share that type of information with you. Something else you can do is join a regional Canvas User group. Where are you located?

 @jrboek , I'm not sure if Oklahoma falls into a regional user group or not. I know Texas has a big group and there's also one for the East Cost, Midwestern, California, etc... My recommendation is to definitely contact your CSM (Customer Success Manager) to get more information. 🙂

[Bobby2]

Great question Deactivated user. It is great to be able to make connections.  

 @kona what is a CSM?

[bneporadny]

Hey  @Bobby2 ‌,

CSM stands for Customer Success Manager and every school that uses Canvas has one that you can ask these types of questions to. 

[rtyger]

I asked for this about 17 months ago from our CSM at Canvas and was not given the list.  I think she thought it was a privacy issue, which, it is not.  Everyone puts their LMS on their public websites.  I needed it because I needed to identify institutions that used 1. Canvas and 2. Jenzabar SIS ( in lieu of Banner, e.g.).   Let's get the list!

We use Canvas and Jenzabar! 😉

And I know of maybe a few more for sure that do as well. 

[jackley]

We asked for this same thing as well.  We would love to know the local high schools in the Chicago area that are using Canvas, as we will know they are prepared when they attend Columbia College Chicago.   We use Canvas and Jenzabar as well.

Is there a regional users group for Chicagoland area?

[kona]

We're in central IL and as far as I'm aware there isn't a Chicagoland area user group.

Hello  @rtyger ‌.  I formally worked at a university using Canvas and Jenzabar.  If you are interested I could try and get you in touch with someone there.

[rtyger]

Can we talk soon? My Provost has challenged me to find someone we can

discuss our issues with and to help us

integrate Jenzabar EX with Canvas. We have done some preliminary work but

student enrollments (active/deleted sync) are not being captured

correctly due to a table, or similar, in Jenzabar/InfoMaker.

Yes.  I am meeting with the ITT / sql / Jenzabar team in a few minutes.  May I say I have found someone we could hopefully hire to fix our SIS/Canvas integration troubles?  You'd have to do a bit of paperwork to become a consultant for our university so I can pay you for your expertise.

Hello Mr Eric, we are doing a Migration from jenzabar to Canvas, can you please help with a documentation or a way to do this migration. Thank you in advance.

Hey, I did a quick Google search and found a few. Gotta love Google! Not going to share them all, because I'm busy, but here are some and you can find more:

• Sequoyah Middle School, Edmond, OK
• Central Middle School, Edmond, OK ,
• Bartlesville Public Schools, Bartlesville, OK
• Bixby Public Schools, Bixby, OK
• Oklahoma Baptist University
• Southwestern Christian University,
• Southwestern Oklahoma State University

Have fun, and bug your CSM again. They get busy and side-tracked like the best of us.

Hi John,

I know it doesn't meet your criteria of "nearby", but you might consider joining the Canvas R1 Peers Research University Group (if you haven't already).  They have an active mailing list, and hold monthly phone calls. It has been a great resource, and is nice to communicate with folks facing similar user bases and challenges.

Hi John,

I work at Region 11 in north Texas - www.esc11.net. We have a very active support group for k-12 called the North Texas Canvas Users Group (NTxCUG). They meet about 4 times a year and we are organizing our very first conference. esc11leveragecanvas 

All are welcome.
