Canvas LMS implementation in both English and French is underway

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 14, 2024 /CNW/ —  Instructure, the leading learning technology ecosystem and maker of Canvas Learning Management System (LMS), has announced that HEC Montréal, a leading French-language business school in Canada, selected the Instructure Learning Ecosystem to provide a cohesive, integrated learning experience that enhances both teaching and learning outcomes for its diverse student and faculty community. HEC Montréal is hosting a systemwide Canvas LMS implementation with administrator support in French, with plans to go live in September 2024.

After evaluating several learning management systems, the HEC Montréal team found that Canvas accommodates its unique use cases through much-needed functionality in features like Canvas Blueprints and Templates. HEC Montréal requires a quick and effective way to synchronize course content for an easy-to-use, well-coordinated and bilingual experience. Through Canvas Blueprint, admins and course designers have the flexibility to lock or unlock content for editing, ensuring uniformity and uncomplicated updates across multiple courses and languages.

HEC Montréal selected Canvas LMS as part of its newly defined strategic plan, which focuses on continuity and enhancing the value of education for English and French-speaking learners and educators. HEC Montréal is the first institution in Canada to host a Canvas LMS implementation with administrator support in French. Through this move to Canvas, more than 13,000 students will gain access to an open, reliable interface and ongoing bilingual support.

“We’re proud to empower innovative organizations like HEC Montréal through Instructure’s AI-driven, language-intuitive ecosystem,” said Melissa Loble, Chief Academic Officer at Instructure. “Our shared commitment to fostering an inclusive environment where students have access to flexible, cohesive learning with respect for their preferred language fuels our collaboration.”

Implementing the Instructure Learning Ecosystem fulfills key objectives of HEC Montréal’s strategic plan of enriching students’ academic journeys and cultivating an open and stimulating environment for all community members.

“HEC Montréal is proud to implement Canvas, a digital learning solution that will positively support our mission in higher education. This collaboration will enable us to offer our student community an even more coherent and integrated learning experience,” says Lamiel Brasseur, Director of the Learning and Teaching Innovation Centre at HEC Montréal.

Saledock Gives Celerant ONE Retailers One Place to Market, Message and Manage Every Customer Conversation

CES gives UK retailers a central marketing hub connected to live sales data.

KINGSTON UPON HULL, England, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Saledock, a Celerant company, today launched Customer Engagement Suite (CES) for Celerant ONE, giving UK retailers a central hub for email marketing, SMS, social media, reputation management and every customer conversation, from website live chat to WhatsApp messages.

Because CES connects in real time to Celerant ONE’s ePOS and eCommerce, retailers can automate targeted, personalised messages based on what customers do in-store and online, using the customer, sales, and product information already in their system.

Marketing That Knows What Your Customers Bought

Most independent retailers manage customer communication across a patchwork of tools: one for email, another for text messages, a social media scheduler, review sites, a WhatsApp inbox and a separate live chat on their website. None of those tools know what a customer bought last week, so campaigns stay generic and staff waste time exporting lists and copying product details between systems.

CES closes that gap. It sits inside Celerant ONE and draws directly on the data retailers already have, including customer records, in-store and online sales history, and product images and information. The result is marketing that reflects real buying behaviour, built and sent from the same platform the retailer uses to run the shop.

How It Works

Retailers can set up automated workflows triggered by what happens at the till or on their website, and get as creative as they like. A workflow might thank a customer after their first purchase, follow up with shoppers who bought a particular brand or category, or win back customers who haven’t visited in a while, by email or SMS. Once it’s set, it runs in the background.

For retailers who don’t want to build workflows from scratch, a built-in AI agent can create them, so even a small team can put automated marketing to work.

Building a campaign is faster too. Product images and descriptions come straight from Celerant ONE, so there’s no need to recreate content that already exists in the catalogue.

With CES, Celerant ONE retailers can:

Automate email and SMS campaigns based on in-store and online purchase activityLet the built-in AI agent build workflows for themAnswer website live chat and WhatsApp messages from a single inboxSchedule posts and engage with followers across Facebook, Instagram, and their other social channelsMonitor and respond to customer reviews to protect their reputationReduce the number of separate marketing and messaging tools they pay for and manage

“Retailers already own their most valuable marketing asset, which is their customer and sales data,” said Michele Salerno, Chief Growth Officer at Celerant Technology. “The problem is that data usually sits in one system while their email, texts, reviews, and social media live somewhere else. CES puts all of it in one place and connects it to every sale, so a retailer can send a message that’s actually relevant to that customer without exporting a list or logging into a handful of different tools.”

“Running a shop leaves very little time for marketing, and jumping between different apps to do it doesn’t help,” said Layla Gladwin, Managing Director of Saledock. “With CES, everything a retailer needs to talk to their customers is inside Celerant ONE and connected to what’s happening at the till and online. Set up a workflow once, or let the AI agent build it for you, and it keeps working while you get on with serving customers.”

Availability

Customer Engagement Suite is available now as an optional add-on for Celerant ONE retailers. Existing Celerant ONE retailers can contact their Saledock account representative to get started. Retailers considering new ePOS and eCommerce software can request a Celerant ONE demonstration to see CES and the complete platform at [https://www.saledock.com/customer-enagagement-suite/]
