Canvas is our new eLearn system at Chemeketa for supporting teaching and learning!
All classes in eLearn will be taught using the Canvas system starting Fall 2020.
Included are important updates regarding fall courses in Canvas and information about continued access to Blackboard.
New Login to Canvas
After Sept. 1st, instructors and students can access Canvas at: eLearn.chemeketa.edu.
Bookmark this link in your web browser for quick access to eLearn.
Your current link to Canvas (chemeketa.instructure.com) will also continue to work but will redirect you to our new web address.
Login to Canvas using your Chemeketa Single Sign On username and password. Contact the IT Help Desk for help with your login.
Continued Access to Blackboard
Instructors can access Blackboard at: chemeketa-bb.blackboard.com.
Students can also access Blackboard at this address to view past courses and to makeup work for incomplete grade contracts.
NOTE: access to Blackboard will end on Dec 31, 2020.
Student Access to Fall Courses in Canvas
Student access to fall courses in Canvas will occur on Sept. 28th. Courses will be Published automatically and made available to students.
Students will no longer have early start of term access to courses in eLearn. This was a necessary change in our process to better support our transition from Blackboard to Canvas.
Instructors should contact the Center for Academic Innovation to request accommodations for early student access to courses in Canvas.
NOTE: Students will begin to receive notifications from Canvas sent to their college email when changes and updates occur in their courses. Students can learn more about how to manage their notifications in the Canvas for Students getting started course.
