{ "name":"LearnPlatform User Group- Steal My Workflow", "description":"

Register for our next "Steal my Workflow" user group session, specifically designed for LearnPlatform admins looking to optimize their edtech workflows. With the overwhelming response and incredible collaboration at our last user group session, we are excited to invite you to our next session!

When: December 3rd @3-4:30 EST 

The start of winter often brings a lull in new product requests, making it the perfect time to shift focus and evaluate your current EdTech stack. Now is the time to prepare for budget season by creating a workflow that helps your district determine which products to renew and continue paying for in the coming year.

What to Expect:

• Share Your Successes: Volunteer to present your district's current product vetting workflow, a specific part of your process, or a strategic approach you're considering implementing.
• Collaborate and Innovate: Engage with other K-12 districts to discover what's working well, identify areas for improvement, and brainstorm creative ways to enhance efficiency.
• Unlock New Possibilities: See firsthand how the new tag checklist and automation-only steps can transform your vetting process, removing manual steps and improving data collection.

Come ready to participate! This session is a fantastic opportunity to gain valuable insights, troubleshoot challenges, and collaborate with peers to build more efficient and effective edtech management strategies. Don't miss out on this chance to level up your LearnPlatform expertise and connect with the community!

{ "name":"LearnPlatform VOH- Automated Library Maintenance w/ Date-Triggered Workflows", "description":"

Join us for LearnPlatform’s Virtual Office 1/2 Hour to review best practices to keep your EdTech library clean, accurate, and compliant.

With new product requests slowing down, now is the ideal time to be proactive and focus on your existing ecosystem. We'll show you how to move past manual, year-end updates by leveraging date-triggered workflows to automate product reviews and maintenance.

A well-maintained library is vital for compliance, budgeting, and informed decision-making.

We will cover:

• Why Accuracy Matters: The critical importance of an up-to-date library.
• Key Areas for Review: Checking and customizing library sections like tags, statuses, and contract dates.
• Best Practices: Strategies successful districts use for ongoing maintenance and delegating responsibility.
• Workflow Automation: Leveraging date-triggered functionality to streamline renewals and expirations.

** LearnPlatform Contacts will receive an invitation on 11/4/25. If you did not receive an invitation and/or would like to be invited to future VOH, please contact your dedicated Customer Success Representative or email support_lp@instructure.com

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.
