Case Study: Chandigarh University rapidly moved 24,000+ students to online learning with Anthology (Blackboard)

Rapid Deployment of Online Learning for over 24,000 Students at Chandigarh University

Chandigarh University, a leading Indian institution serving over 24,000 students and 2,000 faculty across 100+ programs, faced urgent campus closures during the pandemic and needed to move all teaching online quickly. To meet this challenge, CU partnered with Anthology to deploy an LMS and virtual classroom solution to sustain instruction and support diverse learners and faculty.

Anthology enabled a rapid, month‑long rollout using a dedicated task force, train‑the‑trainer programs, weekly webinars, and 24/7 IT support; as a result, CU brought all courses online within a month, trained faculty across disciplines, and kept more than 24,000 students engaged—ensuring continuity of education and positioning the university for ongoing hybrid learning.
