Case Study: Howard University achieves a smooth LMS migration with Canvas by Instructure

Howard University migrates 20K+ courses to Canvas in three semesters

Howard University, a private historically Black university, faced the challenge of replacing its legacy learning management system to build a comprehensive digital learning infrastructure. The institution needed a new LMS that would integrate seamlessly with its Student Information System and Workday Student software to support academic excellence and its growing enrollment. The university partnered with Instructure and selected its product, Canvas LMS, for the migration.

Instructure's Canvas LMS was implemented with the support of K16 Solutions for an automated content migration. The solution involved moving over 20,000 courses with no disruption to faculty, students, or administrators. The results were a highly successful and rapid migration completed within three semesters, which was met with positive responses from the university community due to the thorough and supportive rollout process.
