Case Study: Ateneo de Manila University expands online learning and student engagement with Canvas LMS from Instructure

Ateneo de Manila University expands learning for 15,000+ students with Instructure Canvas LMS

Ateneo de Manila University faced a complex instructional support challenge when the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted in-person learning. With faculty using a variety of disparate, often free tools, the institution lacked the integrated learning ecosystem, administrative analytics, and centralized support needed for effective online and blended learning. To address this, they initially introduced Instructure's Canvas Free-for-Teacher and, based on positive faculty feedback, fully adopted the premium Canvas LMS in September 2020.

Instructure provided crucial implementation support and training, fostering teacher collaboration through required interactive Canvas courses and shared resources via Canvas Commons. This led to the formation of professional learning communities and a more collaborative culture. The solution enabled more intentional course design and higher student engagement. As a result, Instructure's Canvas provided Ateneo with a reliable, scalable platform that improved the learning experience and supported the university's future planning.
