The Client

With the position as the premium school of Design in Brazil, Escola Britânica de Artes Criativas (EBAC) is an innovative Creative & Digital Arts university offering internationally validated degrees and professional courses within the areas of creative arts. It is the only institution in Latin America offering validated British degrees which are valid in the UK, the European Union and the United States. EBAC mainly focuses on 4 key specialisation areas: Art & Design, Audiovisual, Animation & Visual Effects, and Games.

The Challenge

As EBAC offers various courses across creative disciplines at pre-degree, undergraduate, and professional development (CPD) levels, and BA programmes from 3-4 years, the academic team has a variety of different educational areas and programmes to maintain. EBAC is known for the highest standards of creative arts educational equipment but did not have an eLearning platform support the more theoretical oriented classes as well as EBAC wanted to offer a closed forum or social network to the students. Finally as EBAB is using guest lectures from the creative industry it was crucial to have an intuitive and course builder back-end.

The Solution

The new platform was presented in the 2nd half of 2019 to the students of EBAC offering different courses and semesters in art history and contemporary art, graphical computer software and how-to manuals. The courses are presented as part of the curriculum to BA-level students.

Testimonials

“For some time we had been looking for a platform with both a social network element and an intuitive approach to learning, obviously as we are teaching design and art and we want to indulge the students with the best in class examples of design thinking and user friendly solutions. With CanopyLAB we found a perfect match and have been overwhelmed with the feedback on easy of use from both students and teachers”
