As of November 8, 2023, the Instructure Community is Two Million Strong! 

The Instructure Community was one of the top reasons I joined Instructure nearly a decade ago. This engaged, brilliant, kind, and giving online global community of teachers, administrators, and even students, forever has my heart.

It started small and was initially focused on empowering Canvas users to share knowledge and stay informed about product advancements. As Canvas expanded and the Instructure Learning Platform evolved, this Community grew rapidly as users created compelling content and engaged with peers worldwide in ways they never could have otherwise. The Instructure team recognized early on this was a special community and began to invest in it heavily, regularly asking for input and sharing internal creative and innovation plans.

Today, I want to recognize us, the Two Million Strong, who just over ten years ago raised expectations for ourselves, our peers, and partners, and influenced and inspired the Instructure Community. I could not be more proud of how this community has fostered innovation and collaboration while transforming the way companies and customers engage and share success.  

As educators, we know that every learner brings their own unique perspectives, skills, experiences, and talents, and these individual elements deepen the learning for all of us. I’ve had a front-row seat to witness many of the outstanding ways you help each other and freely share your experience to ensure more learners can succeed. This selfless approach inspires me every day and is one of the many reasons I’m proud to be an educator.

In the Instructure Community throughout November and into December, we’ll recognize individual contributions and admire the incredible impact we have when we collaborate. I’m excited to see how you contribute to the Community Team’s weekly challenges, cheer on your peers, and leverage the Community as an opportunity to deepen your knowledge of and enthusiasm for Instructure products. You can follow along by visiting the Community Hub, or you can choose to receive notifications any time new content is added to the Community Hub Blog

Thank you for being one of Two Million Strong members of the global Instructure Community, and thank you for the influential role you played in inspiring us and even other companies on how to support customers and how customers support customers!

 

Keep learning, and see you in the Community!

I love the meaning of #PowerOfCommunity.  We are all in this together, and I am not just referring to creating rad learning experiences for students. But we are in this life together and the more unified we can become the better it will be. Thanks for reminding us with this message and call out to a part of this great Instructure Community!

The #PowerofCommunity is the perfect hashtag, as there are numerous examples of ways this Community has come together. I am so blessed to be part of it and to watch it grow!  Congratulations and thank you especially to the entire Community Team, whose hard work and dedication, often in the background, keeps us all here!

How excited to learn of this milestone in the Canvas Community! I've made so many amazing connections through the community over the past decade and am looking forward to many more in the upcoming years.

As an Advocate, the #PowerOfCommunity means the world to me. Through different channels, either user groups, blog posts, and conferences I have met so many of the #canvasfam and we have connected through answering each other's questions or providing insight about Canvas and its products.

One of the best parts of the Canvas community is that you are never alone! There are always others who are open and willing to help when needed. Helping each other in this way is truly the #PowerOfCommunity! Thank you, Canvas community!

Indeed! This community is powerful and empowering!
It is inspiring to connect with a plethora of dedicated educators and EdTech advocates who happily support one another and freely share their ideas and successes. This community truly makes an impact on instructional technology best practices, which helps instructors provide students with digital literacy skills development and learning ownership opportunities, via Canvas LMS.

Cheers! 😎

I've been working in Canvas for over a decade and I've had every role from student, TA, admin, etc. and I have never once felt helpless. There are so many guides and community exchanged available for all Canvas users. I have truly felt the #powerofcommunity. I look forward to learning from and contributing to this community and it's growing forces.
