[BB] Instructure Canvas Demo THURSDAY - Please sign up

Instructure Canvas is a new learning management system, designed to be better than Blackboard. Really. It was designed by two graduate students who used Blackboard and were frustrated by it. They started from scratch, using a modern programming language, and came up with an interesting system.

Someone from Instructure will be on campus this THURSDAY to do demos for faculty focus groups. There will be two sessions, one from 12:30 pm to 1:45 pm and a second one from 2:00 pm to 3:15 pm. Since you have experience with Blackboard, it would be great if you could attend one of the sessions and compare Instructure Canvas to Bb.

To register for either session (registration is required) go to the http://iacevents.org web page.

To learn more about Instructrue Canvas, go to http://goo.gl/HV5Yv for information from outside of Instructure, including a link to a YouTube video, or go to http://www.instructure.com for material from instrcuture.

I hope a number of you will be able to sign up for one or the other session. You feedback will greatly influence our future plans.
