The University of Tennessee Knoxville
Lindsay Hansen, Director, New Student Orientation
"My predecessor was involved in building a homegrown module built in Canvas. It took me more than three hours to complete and I had some concerns about the overall appearance and functionality of the program. I knew that this was something that we needed to change."
