We intend to do Instructure New and Next events like this approximately every 3 months. We know the holidays in the United States are a hectic time, so look out for the next New and Next event when institutions are back in session in January. Along the way, we’ll continue to listen to your feedback to ensure that we’re giving you the right information and resources, at the right time, with the right level of detail.
