Case Study: Edmonds School District achieves evidence-based edtech renewal decisions with Instructure’s LearnPlatform

Edmonds School District renews six-figure edtech tools with Instructure

Edmonds School District, a district serving over 20,000 students north of Seattle, struggled to evaluate the effectiveness of its many educational technology (edtech) tools. They lacked reliable data on tool usage and impact, making it impossible to justify high-cost, six-figure renewal decisions based on anything more than vendor claims and gut feelings. This led them to partner with vendor Instructure and adopt its LearnPlatform service to gain clarity.

Instructure's LearnPlatform provided a solution centered on Rapid-cycle Evaluations (RCE), which enabled the district to move beyond simple usage metrics and analyze the direct impact of tools on student achievement. This data-driven process gave Edmonds clear, independent evidence to confidently renew tools proven to drive student growth. The results included a repeatable evaluation framework, increased trust and alignment across leadership and the school board, and the ability to make all future edtech decisions with confidence.
