Case Study: Providence College scales LMS migration with Canvas by Instructure

Providence College migrates 4,800+ students to Canvas in 2 years with Instructure

Providence College, a liberal arts institution, needed to migrate from its aging Sakai LMS to a more scalable and accessible platform to support its growing national reputation. The challenge was to find a new system that was mobile-friendly and adaptable for its users. The college selected Instructure and its Canvas LMS to meet this need.

Partnering with Instructure, Providence College utilized a suite of services including Tier 1 support for 24/7 help, consulting, and on-site training to facilitate a staged migration. The result was a highly successful implementation with overwhelmingly positive feedback from faculty. By Fall 2023, the college was using Canvas LMS exclusively, with new faculty reporting high familiarity with the platform, significantly reducing the need for uptraining. Instructure's support was crucial in managing the transition effectively.
