Case Study: Eastern Michigan University simplifies LMS migration with Instructure Canvas

Eastern Michigan University simplifies migration of 5,000+ courses with Instructure Canvas

Eastern Michigan University, a public university in Michigan, faced the challenge of migrating from a decade-old learning management system to a new platform without losing extensive course content or falling behind on educational technology. They partnered with the vendor Instructure to implement its Canvas LMS to ensure a smooth transition and a system that would work for everyone.

Instructure provided close support throughout the migration process, transferring over 5,000 courses and offering extensive training for both instructors and students. The result was a successful campus-wide rollout that allowed instructors to focus on teaching. The university's developers were also able to leverage Canvas Data to create an innovative application, the Canvas Data Viewer, which was shared with other institutions to help them analyze their own data.
