MOSHE & MCF: References & Case Studies
The MOSHE MCF References and Case Studies document highlights the successful implementation of the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) across the Missouri Department of Higher Education & Workforce Development (MDHEWD)—formerly known as MOSHE (Missouri State Higher Education). This initiative, often referred to as the Missouri Consortium for Higher Education (MCF) project, was a statewide effort to provide a unified, world-class digital learning environment for all public two-year and four-year institutions in Missouri.
The document provides a collection of references and specific case studies demonstrating how a common LMS platform has fostered institutional collaboration, improved resource sharing (such as OER), and created a consistent experience for transfer students moving between Missouri schools. Key highlights include the successful migration from legacy systems to Canvas, the role of shared governance in the consortium, and the measurable impact on student success and administrative efficiency across participating institutions like Missouri State University, University of Central Missouri, and various community college districts.
