The Decision
In March 2018, Queen's University Belfast chose Canvas
as their VLE to help them on their journey.
The decision to choose Canvas was based primarily on
its reputation for innovation, openness and scalability.
As Olivia Roberts, Head of Student Services and
Systems at Queen's University Belfast, said, "It is not an
exaggeration to say that Canvas has the potential to
fundamentally change how we deliver teaching and
learning. We will improve how our students access
materials, the kinds of assessments available, the
types of lesson materials and multimedia we use and
really give our students ownership in the process. And,
of course, this is instrumental in helping deliver on our
greater strategic goals as an institution."
