The Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges is moving from the ANGEL learning management system to Canvas. A committee evaluated options and selected Canvas based on faculty preference, technical quality, and cost effectiveness. The transition will occur over the next two years, with full implementation by June 2014 when the ANGEL contract expires. The Canvas system will provide a single online platform across all colleges at a lower per-student cost than ANGEL. Key benefits include hosting in the cloud, mobile integration, and collaboration tools.
