Case Study: San Juan College achieves 95% Canvas LMS adoption with Instructure

San Juan College achieves 95% Canvas adoption with Instructure

San Juan College, a community college in New Mexico, faced a challenge when its previous learning management system (LMS), ANGEL by Blackboard, was discontinued. The college needed to find a new LMS from a vendor like Instructure that was easy to use, offered smooth application integration, had advanced reporting, and provided strong service and support to maintain its high-quality accredited programs.

The solution implemented was Instructure's Canvas LMS. Following a successful pilot, the college achieved 95% adoption of Canvas. The results included freeing up the online services team from server management, allowing them to focus on course development and support. Faculty became more comfortable integrating digital tools, and the college implemented a mandatory Minimum Standard Use policy. This measurable impact ensured all courses were accessible and helped the college meet Quality Matters certification standards for continuous improvement.
