Case Study: New Hanover County Schools streamlines edtech management with LearnPlatform by Instructure

New Hanover County Schools automates edtech vetting for 740+ resources with Instructure

New Hanover County Schools, a district serving 25,000 students in North Carolina, faced challenges in managing its sprawling edtech ecosystem. With only two specialists manually vetting requests from over 3,000 staff using spreadsheets, the process was slow and unable to keep up with state data privacy and accessibility mandates. They partnered with vendor Instructure and its service, LearnPlatform, to create a centralized system for organizing and automating their edtech management.

Instructure's LearnPlatform provided a centralized hub that automated the district's workflow, routing new tool requests to the appropriate reviewers and preventing unnecessary steps if a resource was denied. This solution successfully processed over 740 resources, saving significant time and increasing vetting efficiency. The results provided clarity and digital safety for teachers and ensured tools were compliant, with funds being responsibly allocated to pedagogically sound edtech.
