Scale Better Canvas Courses Across Your Higher Ed Institution

Improve course quality, accessibility, and consistency across Canvas without creating more work for faculty and Canvas teams.

Improving Canvas Course Quality at Scale Is Difficult

Higher education institutions strive to improve course quality, accessibility, and consistency in Canvas, but the work is often fragmented, time-consuming, and difficult to scale across departments and programs.

Faculty have limited time and varying levels of Canvas expertise. Instructional design and academic technology teams must support hundreds or thousands of courses with limited resources. Accessibility initiatives become reactive and difficult to sustain. And too often, teams rely on spreadsheets, checklists, and disconnected workflows to manage it all.

Common Challenges

Course design varies widely across departments
Accessibility efforts are manual and reactive
Faculty have limited time and varying levels of Canvas expertise
Teams rely on disconnected workflows and processes
Scaling improvements across large Canvas environments is difficult

Real Results from Real Higher Ed Canvas Teams

The completion rates in my online certification course have more than doubled. I say it again and again, Design Plus…allows me to put classes together so much faster than previously…

Our courses have had a more consistent design and navigation, better branding for our university, and more positive comments from students than ever before. Faculty who were Canvas-resistant are now spotted importing our DesignPLUS-formatted course template into their courses because it makes good design easy.

At our institution, we love Cidi Labs! The tools seamlessly enhance Canvas by filling in some functionality gaps. We especially appreciate Design Plus, which has given our courses a polished, professional look while improving navigation and accessibility for students.

Cidi Labs has improved our course design in so many ways. It's like having our own dedicated team for instructional design improvements. I always look forward to each new release for the next feature we can use. Thanks for helping us improve accessibility, design, and even clean up our courses.

I cannot imagine Canvas design/functionality without CidiLabs. There is no better support team (or product) for course design.

I have yet to meet a Cidilabs product that doesn't improve my workflows and allow me to accomplish my course designs in seemingly record time. The tool set is invaluable in allowing my team to scale and meet our demand.
