Canvas access has been restored for our users, but the service reliability remains uncertain. Due to recent events, Canvas has had intermittent outages which are at the discretion of the vendor and may occur during a final exam. Faculty and staff may continue to use Canvas, but we strongly advise faculty and students to prepare a contingency plan for turning in assignments and final exams in the event Canvas access becomes unavailable again.
Instructure, the company that owns Canvas, has provided an FAQ about the incident, which may not answer all your questions. We will share more information if it becomes available.

CPR-Colorado Matters

Center Director Matthew Wynia, MD, MPH explains, "There's enormous amounts of disappointment, frustration, anger. You certainly hear that when you speak to people in the healthcare system. Some 80 percent of the folks we're seeing coming into our hospitals with COVID now, are the relatively few people remaining who are completely unvaccinated. That's who's showing up on our doorsteps and that is very frustrating, as we this week are looking at implementing "Crisis Standards of Care," because our health system is so swamped.
At our health system for example, the national standard is you should have is one respiratory technician for every 5 people you have on a ventilator. We currently have one respiratory technician for every 15 people we have on ventilators. That's not only unsafe for patients, that's not at all ideal for those respiratory technicians. They are really being crushed by this current wave." Listen to interview>>
