Case Study: Hutchinson Community College achieves a culture of continuous learning with Instructure's Bridge

New Culture, New Demand for Continuous Learning

Hutchinson Community College (HutchCC), a nearly century-old higher education institution in Hutchinson, KS, faced fragmented professional development driven by misaligned strategy, weak tracking, and a skeptical culture. Seeking a technology-first solution that supported just‑in‑time microlearning, accessibility, SSO and integration with their existing stack, HutchCC selected Instructure’s Bridge platform (with Canvas and Arc Video integrations) to change the mechanism for learning and drive cultural adoption.

Instructure implemented Bridge across faculty, staff and students, enabling easy authoring, automated learner notifications, device‑agnostic delivery and seamless Canvas integration for supplemental student skill modules. The platform gave HutchCC real‑time visibility and streamlined deployment, helping HR self-direct training, achieving a 74% overall completion rate, piloting student modules (3,000 students discovered Bridge organically), and delivering record high supervisor training completion—evidence that Instructure’s Bridge is driving measurable engagement and a sustained culture of continuous learning.
