Instructure: Plans to expand beyond Canvas LMS into machine learning and AI<\/strong><\/a> — from mfeldstein.com by Phill Hill<\/p>\n

Excerpts:<\/em><\/p>\n

On the same day as Instructure’s earnings call and release of FY2018 financial results, the company\u00a0announced the acquisition<\/a>\u00a0of Portfolium\u00a0for $43 million<\/a>, a small startup focusing on “ePortfolio network, student-centered assessment, job matching capabilities, and academic and co-curricular pathways”.
\n…
\nInstructure now views itself as a company with a suite of products, and they are much more open to using corporate M&A to build this portfolio.
\n…<\/p>\n

We already have analytical capabilities in our Canvas platform. I want to be really clear and delineate the difference between an analytics and reporting capability, and a machine learning and AI platform.
\n…
\nWe have the most comprehensive database on the educational experience in the globe. So given that information that we have, no one else has those data assets at their fingertips\u00a0to be able to develop those algorithms and predictive models<\/strong>.
\n…<\/p>\n

What’s even more interesting and compelling is that we can take that information, correlate it across all sorts of universities, curricula, etc, and we can start making recommendations and suggestions to the student or instructor in how they can be more successful. Watch this video, read this passage, do problems 17-34 in this textbook, spend an extra two hours on this or that. When we drive student success, we impact things like retention, we impact the productivity of the teachers, and it’s a huge opportunity. That’s just one small example.\u00a0Our DIG initiative, it is first and foremost a platform for ML and AI, and\u00a0we will deliver and monetize it by offering different functional domains of predictive algorithms and insights<\/strong>. Maybe things like student success, retention, coaching and advising, career pathing, as well as a number of the other metrics that will help improve the value of an institution or connectivity across institutions.<\/p>\n
