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.
As promised in the Impact Roadmap for this quarter, we just released updates to make the experience for Impact Admins more accessible and intuitive, regardless of what type of device they use. Based on data from last year, GSMA found that 54% of the global population owns a smartphone and Pew Research found that 90% of Americans own a smartphone (an increase of 55% since 2011). We view device usage as one measure of equity in access to educational technology. Now, Impact Admins have a fully mobile-friendly design that empowers them to manage Impact effortlessly, anytime, anywhere.
Gone are the days of zooming in and out or struggling with complex navigation menus on your mobile device. Our updated mobile-friendly design offers a responsive layout that adapts seamlessly to your screen size, providing a consistent and optimized experience whether you're using a smartphone or tablet.
We understand the importance of accessibility for Impact Administrators, regardless of the device they use. That's why we've focused on enhancing accessibility features, including improved contrast, scalable fonts, and simplified navigation, making it easier for all users to interact with Impact effortlessly.
Now, navigating through Impact has never been smoother. Our revamped mobile interface boasts an intuitive design, featuring streamlined navigation menus, clear calls to action, and logical workflows. Whether you're posting a message, launching a campaign or walkthrough, monitoring adoption, generating reports, or doing administrative tasks, you'll find everything you need right at your fingertips.
With our enhanced mobile experience, you're no longer tethered to your desk. Whether you're attending conferences, meeting with stakeholders, or simply enjoying a change of scenery, you can stay connected to Impact and drive positive change wherever you are!
As always, let us know below what you think and if you have other feature ideas/requests, make sure to post them in the Ideas and Themes section of the Community! The next round of Ideas and Themes prioritization and voting is coming soon!

I am passionate about innovating in education in order to improve educators' and learners' experiences and outcomes. I am an educator at heart. During my 15 years in public education as a Spanish teacher/professor in the K-20 spectrum, I held a variety of roles in traditional, flipped/hybrid, and fully online learning environments with the large majority of those years spent as an Online Teacher and Instructional Leader for the North Carolina Virtual Public School (NCVPS), the country's second-largest online school. In addition to those roles at NCVPS, I was a Curriculum Writer, Course Development Leader, Developer, and Advisory Board Member at various points as well. Like most educators, I worked at least one side gig. I worked as a SME, Consultant, and E-Learning Support Specialist/LMS Admin for various organizations (both public and private) at various points of my career as well. Since transitioning to Instructure, I have been fortunate to work with some amazingly talented people to support almost all of Instructure's products. Currently, I work as a Group Product Manager for Canvas where I am able to leverage my experience, skills, and expertise to ensure that we deliver products that solve problems, that people love, and that ultimately make a positive impact on the evolving world of edtech and education in general. I strongly believe in our company's mission to elevate student success, amplify the power of teaching, and inspire everyone to learn together. I look forward to connecting with you here, in the Instructure Community!
