Case Study: Rockingham County Schools achieves a successful 1:1 Chromebook rollout and improved teacher productivity with Instructure (Canvas)

Rockingham County Schools - Customer Case Study

Rockingham County Schools, a North Carolina district serving 4,300 high school students, needed a simple, reliable learning management system to support a district-wide 1:1 initiative and help teachers organize coursework and communication. They chose Canvas from Instructure for its intuitive interface, strong uptime, and seamless integration with Chromebooks and Google Apps.

Instructure deployed Canvas across the district, enabling rapid teacher onboarding (trained in only two days) and powering the 1:1 Chromebook rollout; by 2015 the district grew from 6 to 10 schools with 589 active courses and 4,300 users. Teachers reported measurable gains in communication and productivity, widespread use of on-demand audio/video and the gradebook, and that Canvas made workloads manageable in a 1:1 environment.
