As universities grapple with LMS disruptions, coverage on how institutions prepare for post-Canvas realities underscores how difficult course continuity becomes once learning infrastructure fails. One analysis argues that schools cannot simply “quit Canvas” even after hacks, because switching course delivery and management is operationally and legally complex. Migration requires remediating integrations, rebuilding course workflows, and re-establishing assessment and support processes that students rely on. The story emphasizes that contingency planning is not just a communications problem; it is an institutional systems challenge that forces IT, teaching staff, and academic leaders to coordinate across platforms. For student success and compliance teams, the operational lesson is that vendor disruption can reverberate through grading timelines, instructional continuity, and documentation obligations long after initial access is restored.
