Case Study: Virginia Community College System achieves consistency in learning with Instructure Canvas LMS

Virginia Community College System trains 4,000+ faculty with Instructure Canvas

The Virginia Community College System (VCCS) faced a significant challenge in achieving consistency across its 23 colleges, as each campus used its former LMS differently. This inconsistency created navigational hurdles for students and made it difficult to deliver content in a uniform and timely manner. To address this, VCCS partnered with vendor Instructure to implement its Canvas LMS platform.

Instructure's solution provided VCCS with a scalable and intuitive system that streamlined course creation. The implementation included comprehensive training and the establishment of universal best practices for Canvas usage across all colleges. This created a strong foundation that simplified the transition to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, during which VCCS trained over 4,000 faculty members via more than 90 webinars. The results were a more consistent student experience and a system well-equipped for flexible, personalized online learning.
