All Top-Ten US Universities Now Use
Instructure's Canvas LMS
SALT
LAKE CITY, June 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/
-- Instructure, the maker of Canvas, announces that
Duke University selected Canvas LMS to
power innovative instruction and learning experiences across its
learning institution. The decision represents a significant
investment in the entire Instructure Learning Platform, with
implementations of Canvas LMS, Impact, Canvas Studio and Canvas
Credentials to transform teaching and learning at the university.
With this deeper partnership with Duke,
all of the top ten universities in the
United States now use Canvas LMS.
The decision to adopt the Instructure Learning Platform, driven
by Duke's Office of Teaching and
Learning, resulted from the team's vision of putting Duke on the map as a powerhouse for lifetime
education. Key criteria, such as the ability to accommodate
multiple modes of access and a focus on innovation to help
Duke stay at the forefront of edtech,
influenced the decision. Duke's
Fuqua School of Business and
Duke University School of Medicine were
early adopters of Canvas LMS, which instilled the university's
confidence in Instructure as a partner and Canvas LMS as an
extensible platform. Having developed a strong edtech ecosystem
over the last decade, the university prioritized a long-term
partner capable of innovating and meeting the unique needs of
Duke students and faculty for years to
come.
"We're focused on creating accessible, affordable, high-quality
educational opportunities that enable participation of diverse
learners for a more just world," said Yakut Gazi, vice-provost for
learning innovation and digital education. "Our investment in
Canvas is a foundational piece in enabling Duke to fulfill that vision."
"We're looking forward to partnering with Duke to deliver a customized, innovative edtech
experience to their community of educators and learners," said
Melissa Loble, chief customer
experience officer at Instructure. "A key piece of this vision is
that learning extends past the four years in a classroom. Canvas
will support Duke's core credit mission
and provide versatile tools to support non-credit and co-curricular
experiences. Moving forward, Duke will
be able to offer a set of services to its faculty, departments and
schools to help them achieve their respective goals outside of the
15-week course."
Adding the Instructure Learning Platform is a turning point for
Duke's Office of Learning Innovation,
as they develop effective, scalable, forward-thinking programs that
support learning. "Having access to the broad community of users
and developers through the industry's leader will turbocharge our
efforts," said Michael Greene,
associate director of learning technology services and strategy at
Duke. "The Duke community consists of much more than currently
matriculated students. It includes faculty, staff, alumni and
potential learners interested in learning at our university. We see
Canvas as a way for anyone, regardless of their affiliation, to
have access to learning experiences with Duke throughout their lifetime."
The ability to deliver learning experiences to various learner
types requires a flexible set of features that can be configured to
meet unique needs. Duke's Office of
Learning Technology Services and Strategy plans to deliver
experiences through Canvas that serve undergraduate, graduate
for-credit curriculums and co-curricular initiatives. By adopting
additional Instructure products, they will explore new
possibilities, including adding alumni learning opportunities and
non-credit learning for continuing studies.
