Posted on December 11, 2025December 10, 2025 by Susan HicksMateria Maintenance December 12-19 Materia, UCF’s interactive learning tool for creating engaging, game-like course widgets, will be down for maintenance December 12 through December 19. This downtime enables the Center for Distributed Learning to implement a major update to the platform, including enhancements to backend performance and Canvas (LTI) integration. You may check live service updates here: https://status.ucf.edu/ What Happens Next? No existing data in Webcourses or Materia will be lost. Materia will be fully operational by the end of the university’s holiday break. When the Materia application is restored, instructors will need to re-enable Materia in their Course Navigation menu. If you encounter any issues, please contact Webcourses@UCF Support. Thank you for your patience as the Center for Distributed Learning upgrades the Materia platform.
