InstructureCon 2023 is in full swing. Day two was jam-packed with memorable moments, uplifting keynotes, motivating professional development talks, and insightful breakout sessions exploring the possibilities for teaching and learning with technology.
To kick off the day, Joanna Fankhauser, Instructure's SVP of Business Operations, sat down with Arianna Huffington, founder and CEO of Thrive Global, who encouraged the room to focus on wellness and self-care during her inspirational fireside chat.

Enthusiasm for technology-enhanced learning was felt far and wide, with artificial intelligence being the day's hot topic. Instructure officially announced their partnership with Khan Academy, integrating AI-powered student tutor and teaching assistant Khanmigo into Canvas LMS.
Whoa! Canvas architect used their AI research to build, and demoed for us an AI tool that helps teachers design their pages without having to know any code. #BlownAway #instcon23
