Results
All the necessary data from the previously used Blackboard Learn system was transferred to the Canvas LMS. Licensing costs were reduced.
A unified learning environment was created for all educational programs, regardless of the type of devices used (telephones, tablets, desktops).
Canvas LMS was integrated with other university systems - more than 100 integration processes in total.
The project was implemented within five months, taking into account design and implementation. The contract provided 12 months of post-project support for the system and teachers. The project team included architects, UX developers, programmers, testers, consultants, and instructors for teacher training.
Due to the effective organization of design work, the following results were achieved in a short period of time:
