Case Study: District 49 in Colorado streamlines edtech requests and compliance with LearnPlatform by Instructure

District 49 in Colorado streamlines edtech requests for 25,000 students with Instructure

District 49 in Colorado, a fast-growing K-12 district, faced an unsustainable proliferation of edtech tools following the onset of virtual learning. This lack of a centralized process created inconsistency and frustration for parents and teachers. The district partnered with Instructure and its LearnPlatform to overhaul its manual, inefficient edtech request and vetting system and to ensure compliance with student data privacy regulations.

Instructure's solution provided District 49 with a centralized edtech library and a streamlined request process. This gave educators a single portal to check product statuses and submit requests while allowing administrators to manage vetting and data privacy agreements efficiently. The implementation created a consistent, transparent, and flexible process across all schools, simplifying workflows for both staff and administrators. With the new system in place, the district is now poised to use LearnPlatform to evaluate product effectiveness and usage data to inform future decisions.
