MOSHE & MCF: Partner Overview
The partnership between Instructure and the Missouri Department of Higher Education & Workforce Development (MDHEWD) marks a significant step toward a more connected and equitable educational landscape in Missouri. By providing the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) to all public higher education institutions through the Missouri Course Finder (MCF) initiative, the state is creating a unified digital environment. This collaboration ensures that students and educators have access to a consistent, high-quality experience that simplifies credit transfer, enhances course discovery, and supports lifelong learning across the state’s diverse institutions.
The partner overview outlines several critical advantages of this statewide implementation:
- Seamless Credit Transfer: Standardizing on Canvas allows for better alignment of course outcomes, making it easier for students to move between institutions without losing progress.
- Cost Efficiency and Support: Leveraging a statewide contract provides institutions with significant cost savings while granting access to premium support and implementation services.
- Inclusive Access to Innovation: Every Missouri student, regardless of the size or location of their institution, gains access to the same powerful tools for collaboration, mobile learning, and accessibility.
This initiative isn’t just about software; it’s about building a sustainable infrastructure that empowers Missouri’s workforce and academic community. By removing technical barriers and fostering inter-institutional collaboration, MDHEWD and Instructure are ensuring that every learner has a clear, supported path to degree completion and career success.
