The challenge
Melbourne Business School delivered several online learning pathways through Canvas. As different offerings developed over time, course structures and presentation began to vary, creating an inconsistent experience for learners.
MBS wanted to establish a shared look and feel, but a new template alone wouldn't solve the underlying problem. Its program managers also needed the practical capability to apply the standards, manage Canvas environments and support future course rollouts without routine external assistance.
The approach
Curio worked with MBS stakeholders and program managers to define the outcomes, topics and format for a tailored capability program called Curio Academy.
Alongside the training, Curio developed Canvas themes and templates aligned with the MBS brand. This connected the visible course experience with the technical structure required to reproduce it consistently across online offerings.
What Curio delivered
- Custom Canvas themes and reusable course templates
- Practical training for MBS program managers
- Co-designed learning outcomes and workshop content
- Formative tracking of participant skill development
- A custom non-award badge recognising completion
- An online support-booking portal
- Triage that matched each request with the right Curio specialist
- Guidance for implementing, migrating and managing courses in Canvas
The result
MBS gained more than a consistent Canvas theme. Its program managers developed the skills and tools to implement the new approach, migrate courses and support future online offerings.
By combining reusable templates, measurable professional development and targeted support, MBS could grow its internal capacity while keeping the learner experience consistent.
