Cross-Listing with Canvas and Banner SIS

[PLDeMartini]

Hey folks,

My college is transitioning from a home-built SIS to Banner (SaaS version). We're wondering how those with both Canvas and Banner handle cross-listings.

I have a hundred potential questions here, but wanted to leave this more open-ended, and just ask for experiences, procedures, workarounds y'all might be willing to share.

Random notes about our current setup, and what we're finding as we dig into Banner:

• We currently use a 'Canvas Interface' built by our programmers which we use to execute cross-listings:
  • For multiple sections of the same course (ENGL1, Section 1111, 2222, 3333)
  • For two or more differently-named courses (example: ENGL1A can share a shell with ENGL5)
• Those unique cross-listings are done by myself (LMS Admin) upon request, while we have a tool built into our faculty portal which allows instructors to cross-list multiple sections of the same course they're going to teach.
• I've found that Ellucian's Banner UI called 'Experience,' which will replace our faculty portal, does not have functionality for instructors to cross-list anything. It also lacks simple/feasible ways for admins like myself to cross-list.
• We don't have the Teacher permission for cross-listing enabled in Canvas, as it's not granular enough to be practical for us.

For those with Canvas + Banner + Cross-Listing active, how did you set up cross-listing, and is it working well for you?

Has anyone had issues with data from course cross-listed in Canvas not transferring correctly back into Banner, or causing other issues?

Thank you for any comments!
