The February updates to the Instructure Roadmap are now live. Read more about these updates and hear from our product managers. 

Reprioritizing work to focus on the most valuable enhancements. 

Since I joined Instructure earlier this year, I’ve been repeatedly honored and humbled by educators around the world and the work you are doing. I have found the many, many conversations I have had with teachers and leaders invaluable as we continue to deliver on our vision of the Instructure Learning Platform, build our roadmap, and look to what’s next. 

We love our customers and are working hard to deliver the features you are asking for!

Today is the day! After reviewing our proposed path forward with various community members, we can share an outline of the next version of Idea Conversations!

Building on what we learned from you, we created the following guiding principles, which shaped our new approach: 

1. Clarity of success criteria
2. Larger outcomes vs individual solutions
3. Targeted focus areas
4. Regular communication on priorities
5. Delivery

How to get data-driven insights in a tsunami of disjointed data.

When district and school leaders, teachers, and even students are all working together to address knowledge gaps, we see a transformative shift in progress to improve learning outcomes.

Districts want to help their educators ensure standard mastery, and then correlate those formative results with benchmark and summative data to predict progress - as well as to analyze disparities and trends by school, cohort, student subpopulation, and more.

Did you know chronic absenteeism of the few often causes learning gaps for the larger student group? Videri analytics surfaces absenteeism trends, identifies learning gaps, and illustrates important patterns across hundreds of related data points. 

Stop playing Wack the Mole when attempting to create equitable opportunities and closing achievement gaps.
