Case Study: Mississippi Community College Board achieves consistent online learning and seamless student access with Canvas LMS by Instructure

Mississippi Community College Board unifies 15 colleges and trains 100,000 people with Instructure Canvas

The Mississippi Community College Board, which supports 15 community and junior colleges, faced a challenge with a lack of consistency and innovation in its online learning systems. They were concurrently using two different learning management systems along with various digital tools, which created a potential academic hardship for students and did not provide a fully robust learning experience. They sought a streamlined service to reduce costs and improve the experience for tens of thousands of students across the state.

The vendor Instructure provided its Canvas LMS solution. Through an RFP process, the colleges chose Canvas and transitioned their entire system in less than one semester. The cloud-based platform created a seamless experience for students, reduced the workload for IT and eLearning staff, and ensured consistency across all colleges. Instructure's solution allowed students to easily take courses from any college in the state and provided the ability to learn anytime, anywhere via the mobile app.
