Products that provide instructional technology and resources directly supporting teaching and learning. Includes learning management systems, instructional technology support, assessment and learning analytics, lecture capture, learning spaces management, and polling and surveys.
The Teaching and Learning Technologies portfolio will enable the design, delivery, and assessment of curriculum with expertise, technology, and support consistently meeting student and faculty expectations.
A Portfolio Priority is not the only work happening in this Portfolio, but it is the highest priority. If we do not make progress on this priority, the Portfolio will not be successful:
Foster a data-centric approach to make fiscally responsible decisions in our software evaluations, renewals, and corresponding support staffing models while keeping the student experience in mind.
The Teaching & Learning Systems roadmap lays out where we currently are and where we expect to be in the coming months and years. This roadmap will be updated regularly to reflect changing industry standards and changing needs within the University, but the overall trajectory should be predictable from semester to semester.

As of June 30, 2026 the rollout will be fully complete following the retirement of Blackboard. We will also continue to roll out new Canvas features to improve the student and faculty experience. Visit the Canvas Learning Management System Implementation site.
Based on student and faculty feedback collected through the Classroom Assistance Ticketing System (C.A.T.S.) rollout, we will proactively analyze learning spaces and establish improvement opportunities for a more consistent and user-friendly student experience.
This will allow us to align our technologies to the needs outlined by the Dynamic Strategy’s Learn pillar, combined with the industry’s changing offerings. Meanwhile, it allows us to establish a technology ecosystem that meets teaching and learning needs, as well as promotes fiscal responsibility.

Of all OHIO courses, 45% of courses used Canvas in spring 2026. This is based on courses published in Canvas as of April 3, 2026. For support, Canvas handled +74% of ticket needs through its 24/7 support offerings from August 2025-April 2026, though total support demand decreased approximately 9% compared to the prior year.
C.A.T.S. launched in Fall 2024 in centrally scheduled Athens-based classrooms. Faculty can leverage a single reporting structure to share concerns with classrooms. In the Spring semester (2026), OIT received 385 tickets. Average response time for ALL tickets was 12 minutes and the average resolution time for ALL tickets was 3 hours and 2 minutes.
The Digital Course Content program (Inclusive Access) continues to impact more students, with the highest number of course sections (924) enrolled to date. Since summer of 2018, the program has saved $12 million in textbook costs to OHIO students.
