, we don’t take education lightly. Not our own and certainly not that of our clients. That’s why through many months or research and testing, we decided to develop our LMS (Learner Management System) on Canvas from Instructure, as our exclusive method of conveying our online educational content in the form of courses, to our students. Boy, are we glad we did!
Canvas LMS is still pretty low key in the South African market, however with these current figures boasting their presence on the international education arena, it is only a matter of time:
Quote: “Since its formal launch in 2011, the Canvas learning management system (LMS) has hosted 186,337,240 hours (that’s 7,764,050 days or 21,256 years) of fully online, blended, or hybrid teaching and learning.”
What’s different about Canvas LMS?
Straight from the horse’s mouth (sorry Canvas developers):
It’s simple. The best tools are the ones that just work. The best customer service is the one you never (or rarely) have to use. The best technology knows it’s a means to an end and behaves accordingly. That’s why with Canvas LMS it’s kept simple. We believe in easy-to-use, intuitive features that simply do what they’re supposed to do, which Canvas does perfectly. It all comes down to our core goal: to make teaching and learning easier.
You can have the sexiest, most cutting-edge features in the world, but if they don’t make teaching and learning easier, then what’s the point?
Remember we are talking about EDUCATION and not ENTERTAINMENT!
“Canvas isn’t just a product. It’s a breath of fresh air. It’s an educational revolution. It’s a powerful new way to—pardon our optimism—change the world. It’s a rapidly growing company with an industry-pushing platform, hundreds of talented employees, a
nd millions of passionate students and teachers. And, sure, there’s also a pretty incredible product in there, too.” Direct from the Canvas developers
What do the users say?
There is no better form of praise than that which comes straight from the Canvas users. Please watch the following video for some user comments related to their own use and that of their students:
A quick boast from the UK
LONDON, March 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Canvas, a learning platform developed in the US, has won the award for ‘Best Secondary Resource – including ICT’ at the Education Resource Awards 2016, which were held at The National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham on 18 March.
The award recognizes the proven track record of Canvas in transforming teaching and learning in schools and colleges internationally, and the specific impact it has had in secondary schools in the UK.
Pretty impressive we thought, don’t you agree?
With all these wonderful statistics there is always the lingering question in the minds of our client regarding the affordability of a world-class LMS solution. It’s more affordable than you think.
