September 17, 2026

12:00-1:00pm, MT (2 pm ET)

Discover how institutions can create more engaging and effective learning experiences by leveraging the flexibility of the Canvas ecosystem.

Join Poll Everywhere, Cidi Labs, Instructure, and the University of Delaware for a practical conversation about active learning, student engagement, and formative assessment. Together, we’ll explore how educators can use various tools and instructional approaches to encourage participation, gather meaningful feedback, and improve learning experiences across synchronous and asynchronous environments.

Rather than focusing on a single product or workflow, this session will examine how institutions can build an ecosystem of complementary solutions that supports their unique teaching and learning goals. The University of Delaware will share real-world perspectives on how active learning is supported across different instructional contexts, followed by brief demonstrations from Poll Everywhere and Cidi Labs.
