Is your LMS doing what you need it to?

You know what your institution is trying to deliver. The question is whether your learning management system is set up to support that work as the year unfolds.

The Panda Personality quiz offers a simple way to step back and reflect on what’s shaping your LMS priorities right now. Each panda represents a different way institutions tend to approach their platform, based on the challenges they’re managing and what they want to achieve next.

What’s driving your LMS decisions right now

Day to day, your LMS touches everything from teaching and learning to reporting and administration. When priorities compete, it can be hard to tell what deserves attention first.

In just a few minutes, this quiz helps you surface the challenges that matter most to your institution and see which LMS mindset best reflects how you approach technology, teaching, and change.

Your result includes a short personality overview and a downloadable resource with common challenges, practical recommendations, and insights from Canvas institutions, giving you something useful to take into planning conversations.

Pathway Panda

Considering the whole learner journey

You’re thinking about how learning connects over time. From year-level transitions to credentials and ongoing learning, you care about experiences that feel coherent rather than stitched together.

You notice when systems struggle to keep up as learners move between stages. When handovers feel manual or inconsistent, it creates friction for learners and extra work for teams.

Pathway Pandas look for platforms that support continuity and adapt as needs change, without relying on workarounds.

Progress Panda

Making sense of what’s next

You’re thinking about momentum and impact. You want to understand what’s improving and where effort is paying off, so decisions feel grounded rather than speculative.

Information often lives across different reports and tools, which makes it harder to form a clear picture of what’s really working. When insight takes time to piece together, progress can feel slower than it should.

Progress Pandas tend to favour platforms that help turn activity into understanding, without adding unnecessary complexity.

Wanting systems that just work

You’re close to the operational reality of how work actually gets done. You notice the systems and processes staff rely on, especially when they introduce extra steps or demand ongoing attention.

As requirements grow and scale increases, small inefficiencies tend to accumulate. What once felt manageable can start to drain time and energy across teams.

Process Pandas value platforms that reduce friction in day-to-day work and remain dependable as the year unfolds.
