That is why OES, a global leader in learning design, today announced a new case study highlighting how one school district with nearly 20,000 students has moved to 100% virtual learning while maintaining student engagement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur work with Canvas and OES began several years ago, as we looked for viable solutions to keep virtual classrooms open even when our physical buildings were closed due to wildfires,\u201d said Aaron Ferguson, Distance Learning Design Coach for Oxnard Union High School District. \u201cLittle did we know how years of emergency preparedness combined with insights from students and teachers would help us respond quickly to a global pandemic. Our student engagement rates remain high, and that is thanks to our amazing teachers, technology partners, and engaging virtual learning environments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The case study outlines how a disaster preparedness initiative led to an approach to distance learning that set the stage for the district\u2019s pandemic response. Working with open technology providers whose offerings integrate well with each other also helped the district customize learning quickly to help teachers deliver memorable lessons to their students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt Canvas, our approach to learning has always been focused on how we can make teaching and learning easier,\u201d said Melissa Loble, Chief Customer Experience Officer at Canvas. \u201cOur open approach powers technology integrations like the one used by the Oxnard Union High School District to best serve their student population and enable their teachers to humanize online learning and make it have a classroom feel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Canvas and OES have worked together since July 2018, with both companies focusing on improving online learning experiences. OES is participating in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instructure.com\/events\">CanvasCon Online<\/a> on October 15 and is focusing on helping educators improve, align, and reimagine their course activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe combine years of pedagogical research with award-winning design to create custom online learning experiences people actually enjoy,\u201d said Katie Bradford, Chief Operating Officer at OES. \u201cWe consider it an honor to partner with Canvas to help millions of learners and educators have memorable and authentic interactions with online learning.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>ABOUT OES:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>OES enables opportunity through transformative learning experiences that bridge the gap between technology, education, and employment.
