Case Study: Seattle Pacific University expands teaching possibilities with Canvas LMS by Instructure

Seattle Pacific University boosts teacher LMS usage 10% with Instructure Canvas

Seattle Pacific University, a private Christian liberal arts university, was frustrated with its previous learning management system (LMS), which it primarily used as a document repository. The system was not supporting digital pedagogies, online communication suffered, and the vendor was unresponsive to usability requests. Seeking a dynamic platform to grow with its evolving teaching needs, the university turned to the vendor Instructure for a solution using their Canvas LMS product.

By implementing Instructure's Canvas LMS, the university found an intuitive and flexible system that aligned with its strategic goals. The results included a successful migration completed in just 11 months and a 10% increase in teacher LMS usage. Canvas provided new opportunities for interactivity and allowed instructors to build stronger bonds with students beyond the classroom, supporting the institution's long-standing educational mission in a virtual space.
