Available for teachers and students in Canvas
worldwide at no extra cost
SALT
LAKE CITY, April 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Instructure, the leading learning ecosystem, today announced an
exclusive Canvas collaborative learning experience for all Canvas
customers, powered by Lucid Software, a leader in visual
collaboration. Beginning on June 15,
2024, all Canvas customers worldwide will have access to the
Lucid Education Suite, which empowers teachers and students with
visual collaboration solutions anytime and anywhere within Canvas,
at no additional cost. The Lucid Education Suite comprises
Lucidspark, a collaborative virtual whiteboard and Lucidchart, an
intelligent diagramming application.
The collaborative capabilities of the Lucid Education Suite
enable educators to create more effective student learning
environments that encourage teamwork and active participation.
These tools are especially relevant for courses requiring
project-based learning, STEM-focused curricula and more. The
combination of these powerful Lucid solutions with Canvas, the
number one LMS, gives educators the ability to facilitate creative
learning experiences involving collaborative assignments. Educators
can now easily incorporate modeling and ideation and encourage
students to create persuasive presentations within their existing
LMS. With the ability to diagram, students can better show their
work, not just their answers.
"As schools serve a broader spectrum of learners, Instructure's
focus is to help them meet learners where they are," said Shiren
Vijiasingam, Chief Product Officer at Instructure. "This enhanced
learning experience allows for the learning journey to be more
collaborative, personalized, and engaging for all of the students
who utilize Canvas daily. It further heightens the core LMS
experience and adds to recent robust enhancements that span from
engaging discussions to offline mobile capabilities for the Canvas
Student App."
The integration makes a more personalized learning experience
accessible to a wider group of students worldwide. Educators can
now create innovative assignments that encourage students to
collaborate and explain concepts visually. By making it easier for
students to demonstrate learning in new, creative ways, the
integration gives educators new ways to assess learning and design
learning experiences that lead to better outcomes.
"This partnership with Instructure marks a significant milestone
in our mission to make visual collaboration an integral part of
every student's learning journey while also empowering educators to
foster creativity and engagement in their classrooms," said
Jeff Bischoff, GM of Lucid for
Education. "The Lucid Education Suite is designed to be a catalyst
for innovation, enabling students and teachers to visualize
concepts through creative, visual and collaborative learning. We
look forward to seeing the ways in which educators and students
will leverage these capabilities to push the boundaries of what's
possible in learning."
Instructors at each institution will have the ability to
leverage the Lucid Education Suite within their Canvas courses
beginning on June 15, 2024.
