Case Study: Brown University improves LMS usability and interoperability with Instructure Canvas

Brown University chooses Instructure Canvas for 8,848 students

Brown University, concerned that its existing LMS technologies were falling behind market innovations, needed to select a new learning management system. The university's challenge was to find a user-trusted platform that offered superior usability, functionality, and interoperability with other systems like Google Apps and mobile devices. The vendor Instructure was selected to provide its Canvas LMS product.

The solution implemented by Instructure, Canvas, was chosen for its integrated design that aligns with Brown's teaching philosophy and its seamless support for mobile devices and third-party apps. The result was a shared investment in the LMS's success across administrators, faculty, and students, who were all involved in the selection process. Instructure's open APIs also empowered the student community to build custom integrations.
