The Instructure Community will enter a read-only state on November 22, 2025 as we prepare to migrate to our new Community platform in early December. Read our blog post for more info about this change.
This post summarizes the product updates covered in our Instructure New & Next webinar held on October 14 for our Higher Education customers in North America. The webinar covered both features that are available now and features that are coming very soon. This time we organized the updates more clearly by product, based on your feedback! This post aggregates the resources for all updates that are currently available. Even if you didn’t join the session, we hope this list of resources helps you effectively communicate updates to the product experiences across your institution.
You can access the webinar recording at any time.
You can also access the webinar slides.
