Instructure, the fastest-growing learning ecosystem and maker of Canvas, one of the world's most popular learning management systems, today announced its market expansion into South Korea. The move represents a major step forward in the company's goal to enable educators and learners across the globe with a secure, scalable, and future-proofed learning management system.
The rollout in South Korea is facilitated through a strategic relationship with Linus, the local partner of Canvas and the country's authorized partner, with more than 10 years of presence within the Korean education sector. Through this collaboration, institutions of learning throughout the nation will be able to access Canvas' complete set of tools and services by locally based staff, localized marketing footprint, and increased language capability.
"With Canvas LMS, South Korean learners will have access to world-class, student-centric learning experiences that unlock personalized and self-paced learning", said Harrison Kelly, Asia Pacific Managing Director of Instructure. Most importantly, Canvas by Instructure enables institutions to close the gap between theoretical learning and practical application, enabling them to provide job-relevant content and credentials that equip students to thrive in an increasingly changing workforce. We're thrilled to introduce all of the fully featured LMS capabilities developed in Canvas by Instructure to institutions nationwide, backed by Linus's local experience.
In contrast, open-source LMS solutions tend to be based on custom development and continued upkeep, Canvas by Instructure is designed with an enterprise-class, secure architecture that provides long-term agility. Institutions can scale with confidence while reducing operational risk through 99.9% annual uptime and hands-free updates.
Canvas is extensible by design. With stable APIs and complete support for Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) standards, it seamlessly integrates with top edtech tools so institutions can create agile, customized learning environments.
Canvas features native business continuity capabilities such as automatic updates, disaster recovery, vulnerability patching, and robust security controls-all of which enable a dependable and secure learning environment for students and instructors.
Canvas is also leading the way with AI innovation in education. With AI-enabled tools that enhance learner engagement and predictive analytics to assist with identifying struggling students, Canvas helps educators personalize at scale and drive student success.
"It is an honor for Linus to be Instructure's first official partner in Korea", said Nah Suk Gyu, CEO of Linus. With this robust partnership with Instructure, the world leader in education technology, we are now better positioned to support improving the global competitiveness of Korean educational institutions through world-class Canvas LMS.
