LONDON, March 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Instructure, the leading learning technology ecosystem and maker of Canvas LMS, announces that SUNET (Swedish University Computer Network) has once again chosen Canvas during a procurement process, reaffirming its trust in the platform for a second consecutive term – following an initial 8-year partnership – to provide an open, modern and flexible learning management system to its members across the country.
