Enabling a world-class learning and teaching experience
In support of the ANU Learning & Teaching Strategy, we are modernising our learning ecosystem to better meet the needs of our students, staff, industry partners and government.
Recent initiatives we've delivered
A new, modern learning management system
In 2025, the University replaced Wattle with Canvas as our new learning management system. Canvas helps educators create more consistent, student-friendly course sites across the University. Integrated with tools like Echo360 and Turnitin, it gives students a clearer, more connected learning experience across their studies.
Melville Hall revitalised
We upgraded Melville Hall with new audiovisual technology including 6 screens and projectors, 55 speakers, as well as Microsoft Teams and Zoom integrated cameras and microphones – making dual delivery or hybrid teaching more accessible.
MyTimetable
In June 2022, we introduced MyTimetable which enables students to personalise their own timetables in real time. Teaching staff can now also plan and manage clashes, allocations or waitlists and change classes and cohorts quickly and easily.
New library system
In 2022, we went live with the new ANU library management system, improving access to library collections and enabling academics to easily build and manage their course reading lists, which are then automatically available to students.
Upgrades to learning systems
We launched the new version of the University’s curriculum management system (CMS), now on a supported version which meets our legislated reporting data capture associated with the National Priorities and Industry Linkage Fund (NPILF).
