Case Study: Coleg Gwent extends learning beyond the classroom with Instructure Canvas VLE

Coleg Gwent improves learning beyond the classroom with Canvas, serving 19,000+ users

Coleg Gwent, one of the largest further education colleges in Wales, faced a challenge with its legacy virtual learning environment (VLE), which had devolved into a static document repository. This limited the college's ability to implement an effective flipped learning model. To extend learning beyond the classroom, they selected the Instructure Canvas LMS for its uptime, intuitive user experience, and robust tools for teaching and assessment.

With the help of Instructure's services team, Coleg Gwent executed a full-scale launch of Canvas. The implementation was later enhanced through Instructure's Learning Platform Optimisation Service, which streamlined course navigation and improved content management. The results included a unified access point for learning materials, consistent assessment submission, and richer multimedia feedback. This led to improved digital confidence for students and allowed the college to fully realize its vision for a transformative, blended learning platform.
