IT Professionals,
The eLearning Services team (eLS) wants to inform you of two upcoming changes within Canvas.
First, on Friday, May 1, the Google Apps LTI [1] may be intermittently unavailable 3:00am-4:00am while Instructure performs maintenance.
On Saturday, May 2, all Canvas SMS notifications except Announcements and Grading will be discontinued [2]. The Canvas Notifications page will only show Announcement and Grading notifications as available options.
It is recommended that users switch to the Canvas mobile app and enable push notifications to continue receiving their preferred notifications on their mobile device.
As always, we will continue to provide timely communication/additional information concerning future updates.
