Case Study: Williamsburg-James City County Schools streamlines communication and boosts Canvas adoption with Impact by Instructure

Williamsburg-James City County Schools boosts tutoring engagement to 97% with Instructure

Williamsburg-James City County Schools faced a challenge in streamlining communication and supporting technology adoption after a rapid, pandemic-induced shift to remote learning using the Canvas LMS. Teachers and guardians needed a more consistent, district-wide digital learning experience with real-time assistance. The district turned to its vendor, Instructure, and implemented its product, Impact, to address these communication and data insight needs.

Instructure's solution, Impact, provided targeted in-app campaigns that delivered specific information to teachers, students, and guardians directly within Canvas LMS. This allowed Williamsburg-James City County Schools to track engagement and promote resources effectively. The measurable impact was significant; one campaign promoting an online tutoring service saw a 97% student engagement rate, far exceeding the expected 20%. The school district also received positive feedback on the timely and helpful nature of the support delivered through Instructure's Impact.
