[ARCHIVED] Selling of Instructure

[Boekenoogen]

Has anyone else seen this article? https://www.edsurge.com/amp/news/2019-12-04-new-ownership-for-an-lms-giant-private-equity-firm-to-bu...

I find it very interesting and somewhat disturbing. What will the future of "Canvas" look like in 6 months? One Year? I remember when everyone was using Blackboard and when they started their process of buying up smaller companies and trying to integrate them into their massive system. Do we see Instructure going down this same rabbit hole? 

What are your thoughts?

Hi John,

I wanted to make sure you saw the press release on our website here:

Because the Canvas Community is a home for Canvas users, I'll add a link to a letter from Instructure CEO Dan Goldsmith to customers:
