SEOUL, South Korea, June 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Instructure, the leading learning ecosystem and creator of Canvas, one of the most used learning management systems worldwide, today announced its entry into the South Korean market. This expansion marks a significant milestone in the company’s mission to empower educators and learners worldwide with a secure, scalable, and modern learning management system.
The launch in South Korea is made possible through a strategic partnership with Linus, the authorized partner of Canvas in the country, with over 10 years of experience in the Korean education market. Through this collaboration, educational institutions across the country will gain access to Canvas’ full suite of tools and services through locally based employees, localized marketing presence, and enhanced language capability.
“With Canvas LMS, learners in South Korea will gain access to world-class, student-centered learning experiences that unlock personalized and self-paced education,” said Harrison Kelly, Managing Director of Asia Pacific at Instructure. “More importantly, Canvas by Instructure empowers institutions to bridge the gap between academic theory and real-world application, helping them deliver job-aligned content and credentials that prepare students for a rapidly evolving workforce. We’re excited to bring all the fully featured LMS capabilities built in Canvas by Instructure to institutions in the country, supported by Linus’s local expertise.”
Built to Scale, Secure by Design
Unlike open-source LMS platforms that often rely on custom development and ongoing maintenance, Canvas by Instructure is engineered with a secure, enterprise-grade architecture that ensures long-term agility. With 99.9% annual uptime and hands-free updates, institutions can scale confidently while minimizing operational risks.
Open Architecture for Seamless Integration
Canvas is designed for extensibility. Through robust APIs and full support for Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) standards, it integrates effortlessly with leading edtech tools, enabling institutions to build flexible, personalized learning ecosystems.
Reliability, Resilience, and Risk Management
Canvas provides built-in business continuity features, including automatic updates, disaster recovery, vulnerability patching, and rigorous security protocols—all of which support a reliable and safe learning experience for students and faculty alike.
AI That Empowers Educators
Canvas is also at the forefront of AI innovation in education. With AI-powered tools that support learner engagement and predictive analytics to help identify at-risk students, Canvas enables educators to personalize learning at scale and enhance student outcomes.
