The affiliation with UCA, ranked as the best creative university in the UK according to The Guardian’s 2021 league table, further solidifies LCCA’s reputation as a leading institution in the creative arts industry.
LCCA is a part of Global University Systems (GUS), a network of institutions, affiliates and partners that offer courses and qualifications to students.
Business challenge
LCCA opted to upgrade their Canvas instance to enhance the level of security, performance stability and reliability. Additionally, upgrading to the most recent Canvas version would allow LCCA to access the latest features available in Canvas as well as install the most recent version of the Turnitin app, which was not compatible with their current Canvas version.
The unique aspect of this project was the presence of custom features in the LCCA Canvas instance as well as its integration with the Student Management System. All of these needed to be carefully considered and addressed during the upgrade process.
