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.
The “Active, Not Recruiting” status in ClinicalTrials.gov is often misinterpreted. This status should only be used to indicate that “participants are still receiving an intervention or being examined, but new participants are not currently being recruited or enrolled”.
This status should NOT be used to indicate that all participant visits are completed, but that the study is still open to IRB, data analysis is still ongoing, or the manuscript is pending publication.
It is very important that once the study reaches the Study Completion Date (usually the last study visit by any participant), the Record Owner changes the Overall Recruitment Status to “Completed”.
The Study Completion Date is defined as “The date the final participant was examined or received an intervention for purposes of final collection of data for the primary and secondary outcome measures and adverse events (for example, last participant’s last visit), whether the clinical study concluded according to the pre-specified protocol or was terminated”
Change the Overall Recruitment Status, and if necessary, enter the Primary and Study Completion Dates and the number of participants enrolled (enrollment is under the Study Design section).
