Intelligent Learning Platform (ILP) Updates and Canvas Integration

We’ve recently implemented several updates to the Intelligent Learning Platform to better align Canvas with Colleague. These changes are designed to automate manual processes and keep data more consistent across systems.

At a glance

  • Course, term, and enrollment details now align more closely between Canvas and Colleague.
  • Several manual setup tasks are now automated through system-driven synchronization.
  • Instructors still retain control over selected course-level settings when needed.

Overview

These updates improve the connection between Canvas and Colleague by using Colleague data more directly for course details, enrollments, and account behavior.

The goal is to reduce manual intervention, improve consistency, and make course information easier to trust across both systems.

What changed...

1

Course naming and SIS IDs

SIS IDs and course titles are now pulled directly from Colleague.

NEW Course title and code examples

  • MBA-682-AP-26/02A: STRAT FORM, IMPL, & ENTREP
  • EDU-567-01.26/02A

OLD Course title and code examples

  • PUB-535-AP-2601A: RESEARCH METHODOLOGIES
2

Automatic cross-listing

If courses are cross-listed in Colleague, they will now be cross-listed automatically in Canvas. Course titles will explicitly show both course codes.

Cross-listed course title examples

  • Summer I-A (7-Weeks) 2026 CAREER DEV/LIFE WRK PLAN (CSL-653-DL, CSL-653-BH)
  • Summer I 2026 FOUNDATIONS OF NURSING CARE (NUR-319-01, NUR-319-BG)
3

Secondary and co-instructors

All additions for secondary or co-instructors must now be made in Colleague. These updates will sync to Canvas immediately.

4

Unified accounts

Account logins have been consolidated into a single persona. You can now use just your employee credentials to sign in, and Canvas will intelligently adjust your permissions—instructor or student—depending on the course you are accessing.

5

Term formatting

Term names now reflect Colleague exactly. For example, Canvas will display “Summer I 2026” instead of the shorthand format “26/02 - Spring 2026”.

6

Course dates and participation

Start and end dates are now automatically populated in Canvas based on Colleague records. There is grace period of 7 days past the assigned end date to account for grade submission and possible late assignments.

Note: To manually adjust these dates, go to the course Settings page and, under the Participation section, change the selection from “Term” to “Course.”
7

Real-time updates

Course creation, instructor assignment, and student enrollments now happen in real time as changes are made in Colleague.
