Case Study: University of Wisconsin System cultivates consistent digital learning with Canvas LMS from Instructure

University of Wisconsin System unifies 13 universities with Canvas LMS in 2020

The University of Wisconsin System (UWS) faced significant challenges with its previous learning management system, which created barriers to collaboration due to inaccessible data and separate instances on each of its 26 campuses. Seeking to better harness technology and data to maximize student success, UWS embarked on creating a new digital learning environment. They partnered with Instructure to implement its Canvas LMS as the core solution.

Instructure's Canvas LMS provided a centralized, cloud-based platform that enabled a consistent and accessible experience for all students and faculty across the vast UWS system. The implementation was completed on time and under budget, and the system proved to be future-resilient, allowing UWS to pivot quickly to remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results included a more streamlined workflow for instructors, increased student engagement, and robust data access for administrators.
