Canvas LMS implementation in both English
and French is underway
SALT
LAKE CITY, Aug. 14, 2024 /CNW/ -- Instructure,
the leading learning technology ecosystem and maker of Canvas
Learning Management System (LMS), has announced that HEC Montréal,
a leading French-language business school in Canada, selected the Instructure Learning
Ecosystem to provide a cohesive, integrated learning experience
that enhances both teaching and learning outcomes for its diverse
student and faculty community. HEC Montréal is hosting a systemwide
Canvas LMS implementation with administrator support in French,
with plans to go live in September
2024.
After evaluating several learning management systems, the HEC
Montréal team found that Canvas accommodates its unique use cases
through much-needed functionality in features like Canvas
Blueprints and Templates. HEC Montréal requires a quick and
effective way to synchronize course content for an easy-to-use,
well-coordinated and bilingual experience. Through Canvas
Blueprint, admins and course designers have the flexibility to lock
or unlock content for editing, ensuring uniformity and
uncomplicated updates across multiple courses and languages.
HEC Montréal selected Canvas LMS as part of its newly defined
strategic plan, which focuses on continuity and enhancing the value
of education for English and French-speaking learners and
educators. HEC Montréal is the first institution in Canada to host a Canvas LMS implementation
with administrator support in French. Through this move to Canvas,
more than 13,000 students will gain access to an open, reliable
interface and ongoing bilingual support.
"We're proud to empower innovative organizations like HEC
Montréal through Instructure's AI-driven, language-intuitive
ecosystem," said Melissa Loble,
Chief Academic Officer at Instructure. "Our shared commitment to
fostering an inclusive environment where students have access to
flexible, cohesive learning with respect for their preferred
language fuels our collaboration."
Implementing the Instructure Learning Ecosystem fulfills key
objectives of HEC Montréal's strategic plan of enriching students'
academic journeys and cultivating an open and stimulating
environment for all community members.
"HEC Montréal is proud to implement Canvas, a digital learning
solution that will positively support our mission in higher
education. This collaboration will enable us to offer our student
community an even more coherent and integrated learning
experience," says Lamiel Brasseur,
Director of the Learning and Teaching Innovation Centre at HEC
Montréal.
