About the System
The Alabama Community College System (ACCS) consists of 24 community and technical colleges across the state of Alabama, and includes the Alabama Technology Network and Marion Military Institute – one of only five junior military colleges in the nation.
With hundreds of thousands of high school students and adult learners choosing the system’s colleges each year, the ACCS desired a unified LMS to eliminate barriers that hinder seamless student experiences.
In 2021, ACCS expanded its usage of Canvas learning management system (LMS) to 12 member institutions and in 2024 implemented a statewide deployment of Instructure Learning Platform solutions that include Canvas LMS, Canvas Studio, Impact by Instructure and Canvas Credentials.
Now with one standardized system statewide, ACCS is better positioned to help students accelerate the completion of any program at any of its institutions statewide.
Instructure has been huge for us as a single-source partner to accomplish a lot of objectives.

Key Insights
With the goal of having one standardized system statewide, ACCS selected the Instructure Learning Platform, which includes Canvas LMS, Canvas Studio, Impact by Instructure and Canvas Credentials.
Together, these solutions will support ACCS in its mission to help students accelerate the completion of any program at any of its institutions statewide.
The college system values the ability to provide educators with access to foundational, evidence-based edtech solutions to support their instruction, increase student access to course content through a robust mobile application, and the opportunity to offer an improved, more reliable user experience.
Across ACCS, the goal is to build courses that are accessible to all individuals, as well as provide multiple ways for students to be more successful and complete their goals as quickly as they can.
The statewide implementation of Instructure Learning Platform solutions will be available to the ACCS community by fall of 2024.
