We get it — change can be tough! Deciding to launch a credentialing program brings with it a number of decisions to be made and challenges to manage. For this reason, we developed our Instructure Success Model, which provides an easy visual reference of the key components of success with our products. The Instructure Success Model is a critical part of our Adoption Toolkit, which has been a cornerstone of our work with thousands of K12, higher education, and many other organizations over the years.
When we launched our Credentials Checklist for Success, we defined each part of the model in the following ways:
Vision
Vision communicates your WHY. It sets the foundation for your goals and success measures. The vision will also shape your institutional governance policy and evolve as your Credentialing program progresses.
Plan
The planning phase is centered around the change management process. This phase focuses on creating three key plans: communication, professional development, and engagement.
Execute
During this phase, key stakeholders closely monitor the program rollout and ensure that goals are being achieved.
Assess
This phase allows institutions to evaluate their return on investment. It examines successes and areas for improvement.
In the coming months, our blog will delve deeper into all four parts of the Instructure Success Model, and how they apply specifically to Canvas Credentials. In our posts, we’ll discuss the following:
- Vision: why should you articulate your vision early, and how can you translate your vision into actionable goals? In this post, we’ll share some examples and discuss the differences between vision, goals, and success measures.
- Plan: Specifically, how can communication plans support your vision and your rollout of Credentials? How will you cultivate engagement among various groups who will be using Credentials?
- Execute: What are the most effective ways to deliver professional development sessions? What should we keep in mind when training various stakeholders?
- Assess: How can you measure your success with Credentials? What are some considerations for monitoring your return on investment?
Remember that our consultants can assist with developing strategies in all of these areas that are tailored to your institution. Reach out to your Customer Success Manager for more details on our consulting and training services.
