Case Study: University of Missouri–Kansas City achieves 90% freshman research training and faster course authoring with Coassemble

University of Missouri-Kansas City - Customer Case Study

University of Missouri-Kansas City faced a challenge getting quality, discoverable online instructional courses built by librarians Jess and Dani—Adobe Captivate proved slow, hardware-intensive, and required design skills the team didn’t have, leaving them with 1 of 12+ planned tutorials. After researching cloud-based options, UMKC selected Coassemble (Growth/Pro) to provide an all-in-one authoring and LMS solution.

Coassemble’s cloud authoring lowered technical barriers, improved collaboration, and let staff build rich courses from video, audio, and images without specialist skills; UMKC produced the 11 tutorials they needed and migrated all online resources to the platform. Using Coassemble, the library reached about 90% of freshmen and sophomores (roughly 1,800 students per year) with near‑100% participation, and UMKC reports a measurable correlation between the library’s Coassemble-built instructional courses and improved student outcomes.
