Updated information about the new SH-StudyWeb

In the autumn of 2022, SH-StudyWeb will start using a new learning management system (LMS) and move from Itslearning to Canvas. Updated information will be available here.
You are now welcome to log into the Canvas SH-StudyWeb, so you can start familiarising yourself with the new LMS. On the start page you will find the material for independent study and three existing course rooms for inspiration.
You can access your own course room, called a sandbox, via the homepage for Canvas SH-StudyWeb. Only you can access to your sandbox, so you can test uploading material and creating a structure. If you want to reuse material from your sandbox, you can copy it to a ‘real’ course later on.
The university has not yet produced any of its own study material in English. Many higher education institutions in Sweden have used Canvas for years and produced good materials for independent study. Links to good study material are provided below. We recommend that you use these for learning about the new LMS. You can use the material when it suits you, independently or with your colleagues.
You are welcome to use the study material produced by Uppsala University (they call their LMS “Studium”).
If you need an information session about the basic functions in Canvas in English, please contact studiewebben@sh.se.
The Canvas homepage has three course rooms that you can use for inspiration when you build your own. They offer examples of how to create structures, so you can get started more quickly. You can watch the introduction films for these course rooms here.
At the moment these course rooms are only available in Swedish, but you can take a look around and use Google translate to read the content. We will also go through the example course rooms in the English workshops.
We recommend that English-speaking teachers attend the workshops in English.
When a course or programme instance is given a started/complete status in Ladok, a room is automatically created in Canvas.
The students can then access the course/programme rooms after registration.
We strongly recommend that you complete the material for independent study before you start using Canvas for course administrations.
The university has decided to save the content on the Itslearning SH-StudyWeb in an archive after the platform closes on 30 November 2022, so if you need to access material now in the current LMS you can do so via the archive. The archive will look exactly like the current LMS, all content will be saved and it will be available for two years. The only difference is that authorisation is limited to a few people.
You can start saving material from Itslearning now. Once you have started learning how to use Canvas, you can access your course rooms and start to publish the material on Canvas. You can save your content temporarily until then; we suggest you do so on your computer/OneDrive.

Support staff at your academic school
There will be support staff at each academic school. They will learn about the new LMS and the study material before other members of staff, and function as an ambassador for the study materials, ensure that subjects get started on working together and be able forward issues to support. Support staff are not responsible for training or technical support. The project will offer support staff special training during the spring. Introductory sessions start in January 2022; support staff have received separate information about this.
