The links below contain both correct answers (in the case of items Q2-Q15, which had definitive, correct answers), as well as insights derived from interviews with top-level IT administrators from each CU campus (CU Boulder, UCCS, and CU Denver). It should be noted that correct answers pertain to the learning management system Canvas, as this is what the interviews addressed (Canvas was recently made the primary LMS at CU campuses, replacing both D2L and Blackboard). Canvas settings were configured to mimic those of its predecessors at each CU campus (CU Boulder’s Canvas settings are based off of D2L, and UCCS’s settings are based off of Blackboard), so we can assume to some degree that a correct answer for Canvas is similar to that adhering to a different LMS, as well.
