Saïd Business School (Oxford Saïd) is the business school of the University of Oxford in England - the number one ranked University in the Times Higher Education University World Ranking.
Before moving to Canvas, Oxford Saïd used a legacy Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) but decided to reassess their options in light of their ambitions and standards for the business school. With overwhelmingly positive feedback through their evaluation, decision-makers realised that Canvas was the best fit for the institution.
