We're dreaming big, so you can, too.

We love our customers (and the feeling is mutual)

Canvas VLE is supporting our expansion both locally and internationally.It’s an incredibly scalable and configurable platform, and we’ve been able to grow with relative ease.
We’ve launched courses in Canvas that deliver the skills needed to thrive in the job markets of today and tomorrow whilst enabling learners to tackle world challenges, and we’ll continue to develop our offering in line with evolving needs.
Canvas is far more user-friendly than many other learning management systems. Plus, once people switch to Canvas, they rarely look back, and that reputation was key for us.
Canvas has been a success from the outset, both because it’s useful and because it is intuitive to use. The success of Canvas adoption amongst our student body is proof that education technology, when done well, will benefit staff, students and the learning process.
Canvas’s AWS-backed cloud solution, with world-class uptime and redundancy, ensures consistent access—a game-changer compared to the sporadic outages we experienced with our old platform."
