All Duke University and Duke Kunshan University courses using a classroom LMS are now on Canvas. Sakai is now in "reference-only" mode, meaning users may access and download content from old Sakai sites but no new Sakai sites may be created. User access to Sakai will be disabled on June 1, 2025.
The Duke University School of Medicine and Duke's Fuqua School of Business have established their own instances of Canvas. If you are attempting to access a course for either of those schools, you can access their instances of Canvas below.
Canvas Site Spotlights
Psych 101
Psychology 101, taught by Bridgette Hard and Emma Grisham, had a few unique features that may work well for other instructors – using HTML to customize the course site, using Acadly to take attendance for in-person classes, and using Gradescope to improve the efficiency of grading hundreds of students’ work.
Duke's Migration Tool Is Available for Use at Other Universities
During our transition from Sakai to Canvas, our team was not satisfied with the available commercial or open-source options in transferring data between platforms, so we built the LMS Data Transfer tool to migrate content from Sakai to our new Canvas environment. We are pleased to share this tool with other institutions transitioning from Sakai to Canvas at no cost.
