Canvas LMS has turned short courses into a strategic front door to Edinburgh Law School. A single, trusted experience is helping more professionals find us - and come back.

Neil Davidson

Learning Technologist, Edinburgh Law School

During my Undergraduate Degree, we used an on-premise, open-source VLE and found the platform disorganised and difficult to use. Using Canvas for my Master’s Degree is a much better experience. It’s just so much easier to collaborate with my peers and learn remotely. I love the mobile app as well." Shreyas Gawande, Master’s Student, University of Liverpool Catalog would enable people to find courses that interested them, sign up online, and within just a few minutes they’d be right in there within the Canvas department. It’s a very simple and straightforward platform from the perspective of the learner.

Tim O’Donovan

Head of Digital Services, University College Cork, Ireland

We’re proud that we’ve enrolled students who didn’t think education was for them. The ability for these ‘non-traditional’ students to learn flexibly… is crucial. Canvas VLE helps us deliver that flexibility.

Questions institutions ask

What does my LMS score mean?

Your LMS score reflects how well your current platform supports key priorities such as flexible delivery, lifelong learning, and the technology needed for future growth.

A lower score usually points to friction in areas like usability, integration, or scalability. A higher score suggests your LMS is meeting current needs, but may still need to evolve as expectations change.

How do universities improve LMS performance?

Universities typically improve LMS performance by simplifying the learning experience, reducing reliance on multiple tools, and choosing platforms that are easier to use and manage.

This often involves improving course design, increasing consistency across departments, and making better use of data and analytics.

In many cases, institutions also review whether their current LMS can support these changes, or whether a different platform would make them easier to achieve
