I think a lot of stakeholders really began to see the value of Canvas when we had to make that abrupt transition to learning from home. Teachers began using our expectations style guide to ensure parents and students could easily locate the information they needed to keep the learning going.

When you really look at what we had to invest in hosting our own site and the risk involved with it, Canvas truly was the less expensive and most strategic choice overall.
