Provide guidance on key aspects of the learning management system (LMS), including: functionality changes; system configuration; timelines for and potential impact of system outages/changes; and other system management concerns.

Note: The LMS SteerCo provides guidance specifically on Canvas, SLU鈥檚 learning management system (LMS). Their focus is different from that of LTAC, which focuses on a range of University-wide learning technology needs. 

The LMS SteerCo comprises faculty, staff, and student members who represent a range of areas and perspectives. In general, the committee will include: key ITS representatives; key Academic Affairs representatives (including staff from the Reinert Center, the Distance Education Office, and the Center for Accessibility and Disability Resources); faculty representatives (identified, in part, by deans), undergraduate and graduate/professional students (identified by SGA and GSA), and other faculty and staff who hold administrative roles in the LMS.

Members of the LMS SteerCo are essential to ensuring that decisions made about the University-supported LMS are informed by meaningful input from SLU faculty, staff, and students. Those who agree to serve are expected to:

• Attend (approximately) monthly meetings during the academic year
• Provide input electronically as needed between meetings (e.g., by email, through quick polls)
• Make recommendations on key topics related to the LMS鈥檚 functionality, configuration, and management
• Work together to arrive at consensus on topics of divergent views whenever possible
• Balance the needs of specific constituencies with the need for institution-level consistency (and, in some cases, compliance)
• Share information about the LMS SteerCo鈥檚 work with the college/school they represent in a manner that ensures broad knowledge-sharing

While the LMS SteerCo is an advisory body, not a decision-making body, the committee鈥檚 work will significantly shape the decisions we make regarding the LMS.
