From Chief Information Officer Ken Stafford: Canvas learning management system

Posted on July 10, 2014July 10, 2014 by Christine Doucette

Ken Stafford is K-State's Chief Information Officer, July 2014 by Information Technology Services

Kansas State University has relied on the Axio Learning Management System (LMS) to drive K-State Online for more than 16 years.
