Case Study
See how Elizabeth Forward School District uses Canvas LMS and iPads to deliver a seamless learning experience. In the face of a disastrous fire at the district, they pivoted to remote learning until students could return to campus.
When our high school students switched to remote learning in February, there was no learning curve. Students could join their teachers and classmates on Zoom and begin their assignments in Canvas on the first day. Teachers can design their Canvas page to be visually appealing, and the iPads work seamlessly with this platform. Regardless of the class content, everything can be found in one spot, and it is easy to submit assignments. This experience has given our students an advantage because many colleges and universities use Canvas as their LMS.
