The keynotes and sessions in Spokane may be over, but the conversation is just getting started. 

 

Join us for the InstructureCon25 Encore Series—a book club for the Instructure Community that brings the voices of featured speakers into your everyday learning. One book at a time, we’ll read, reflect, and keep the InstructureCon magic going until we’re together again in Louisville. 

 

Each title comes with its own pacing guide and meet-up with other Community members. No pressure, just purpose.

 

 

Long Life Learning by Dr. Michelle R. Weise

Reading: November 1 - December 12

 

In Long Life Learning, Michelle R. Weise explores how education systems, employers, and individuals can prepare for a world where we learn and adapt throughout our lives. Through powerful insights and real-world examples, Weise reveals how we can bridge the gap between learning and opportunity in an ever-changing economy.

 

Start the book on your own or follow along with our suggested schedule in the InstructureCon25 Encore Series  Canvas Network course.

 

Then, during this Instructure Live event, be ready to share your favorite quotes, inspirational passages, and action items you’re excited to try. During this casual 45-minute meet-up, we’ll unpack those takeaways and prepare to apply them to our own practice. (Bonus: Attendees will be awarded a Book Club participation badge through Canvas Credentials!)

 

Whether you’re sharing a quick thought, a favorite quote, or a personal takeaway, there’s no wrong way to join in. Pick a prompt (or a few!) and let the discussion flow:

• Observe: What moment, passage, or story stood out to you the most? Think about what caught your attention (something that surprised you, challenged you, or made you pause to reread).
• Reflect: What did this book make you think or feel about your own work, habits, or values? Consider how the ideas connect to your experiences or approach to learning and growth.
• Connect: Where do you see Long Life Learning show up in your classroom, organization, or life? Look for real-world examples or parallels in how you (or others) learn, teach, or adapt to change.
• Apply: How might you apply one idea from this reading to grow, teach, or lead differently? Identify one small action or mindset shift you can take forward to embrace lifelong learning in your daily practice.

 

Let this book inspire you to see learning not as a phase, but as a lifelong journey and a key part of how we continue to grow, innovate, and thrive.
