Case Study: Salt Lake Community College improves student progress tracking with Instructure Canvas Pace Plans

Salt Lake Community College streamlines progress tracking for 15+ courses with Instructure

Salt Lake Community College faced significant challenges in tracking student progress and providing clear guidance within its flexible, open-entry courses. With students enrolling weekly and progressing at their own pace, faculty struggled to monitor individual journeys and forecast completion dates. This created a need for an automated system to replace their manual, time-intensive processes. Partnering with Instructure, the college sought a solution using the Canvas LMS platform.

Instructure implemented Canvas Pace Plans, a tool that automatically generates individual learning schedules based on enrollment dates and customizable pace goals. This solution provided both faculty and students with clear, real-time visibility into progress, upcoming due dates, and whether a student was on track. The result was a consistent way to track progress in a flexible environment, freeing up faculty time and empowering students to manage their own learning. Instructure's Pace Plans led to greater student success and were warmly received by the entire college.
