The New Year

This makes sense. Think about it.

January 1st, 2012 marked the anniversary of the arbitrary point in our orbital path around the Sun that we have designated as the beginning of a new cycle. So, happy new year!

2011 was an incredible year for Instructure - it was the year we established ourselves as a serious, viable alternative to the traditional LMS. Over 100 educational institutions have made the decision to leave behind their tired, legacy systems and make the choice to move to Canvas.

We also experienced incredible growth within the company. We started the year with not much more than a handful of engineers and now we have grown into a full service company of over 85 employees, with another dozen positions open.

2012 will be even more amazing. We are working on several new initiatives to make your life easier - some of them have been announced, others will be announced soon.

Thanks to all our customers and partners for an extraordinary 2011. Together, we really are making a difference in education.

Oh, and one more thing - if you haven't checked out the Canvas Community, take a look.

Keep learning,
