As the largest educational system in the world, the California Community Colleges Online Education Initiative (OEI) is a collaborative effort among 112 California colleges to provide online courses and services within a statewide Online Education Ecosystem (OEE). The goal of the initiative is to increase the number of students who earn associate degrees and transfer to four-year institutions. In 2015, an OEI Steering Committee unanimously selected Canvas as the common learning management system (LMS) to replace eight course management systems used throughout the OEE.
