Instructure is an education technology company whose product ecosystem spans learning management, assessment, and academic records and credentialing. Its core offering is Canvas, a learning management system (LMS) that the company describes as the most widely used LMS globally, complemented by Mastery for formative, predictive, and college-prep assessment and Parchment for enrollment, records management, and credentialing. The company also operates an online community for educators and edtechnologists and hosts an annual user conference, InstructureCon, scheduled for Louisville, Kentucky on July 21-23, 2026.
