Instructure

Instructure’s Company Story Instructure was born in 2008 from the efforts of two college graduate students to transform the stagnant approach to learning management systems. They were frustrated by the cumbersome learning tools available to them which focused more on administrators than developing connections between students and teachers. That changed with Canvas. The Canvas Learning Management Platform continues to expand its impact on the education market and has become the most widely adopted LMS in North America, benefitting millions of students and teachers globally across 70 countries. But a new generation of students and employees is emerging who want to extend their potential, amplify their impact, and be lifelong learners. They are part of a new chapter in Instructure’s story that is being written by CEO Dan Goldsmith and the mission-minded employees who are passionate about lifelong learning. Instructure is growing into the employee development market by offering Bridge to corporations. Together, the Canvas and Bridge platforms by Instructure support the convergence of the academic and professional worlds enabling growth and development beyond graduation, into and throughout a career.
