Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University boosts online courses 10% with Instructure Canvas

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, a pioneer in online learning, faced significant challenges with its previous learning management system. Frequent, disruptive upgrades that halted production and a restrictive platform that limited teaching methods prompted the university to seek a new vendor. This led them to evaluate and ultimately choose the Canvas LMS from Instructure.

By implementing Instructure's Canvas, the university gained a reliable, cloud-hosted platform. The solution resulted in a 10% increase in courses placed online by faculty, was credited with helping improve student retention, and contributed to the institution being named for best online bachelor’s degree. Students and faculty praised Canvas for its intuitive, easy-to-use nature, which created a dynamic learning environment and eliminated the previous downtime issues.
