NET+ Instructure Canvas offers:

The NET+ Instructure Canvas program was designed in collaboration with educators and has been proven to meet the needs of the Internet2 community. Internet2 NET+ Instructure Canvas offers a customized evaluation and ramping process and streamlined contracting with a robust customer agreement developed and vetted by numerous university counsels and Internet2. The Internet2-Instructure NET+ partnership enables institutions to move rapidly through the LMS evaluation process, allowing for faster adoption of a superior learning platform.

Native Cloud and Managed Hosting

NET+ Instructure Canvas was designed for the cloud and that means no versions, no upgrades, no migrations, and no inconvenient down times. NET+ Instructure Canvas will always be updated with the latest features, bug fixes, and security enhancements. The NET+ Instructure Canvas program includes a specialized test instance and custom pilot and trial terms.

Instructure hosts NET+ Instructure Canvas on cloud-computing infrastructure provided by the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and fully redundant storage infrastructure through Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3). Amazon cloud infrastructure provides a highly available, scalable, and reliable platform, while also eliminating the time and expense of procuring, setting up, and maintaining in-house servers.

Scalability

The NET+ Instructure Canvas platform provisions resources automatically for superior performance during peak usage. A common complaint with competing systems is that they go down when usage spikes during finals or other high-demand periods. With automated peak load management, additional server capacity is added automatically as system activity increases.

Service Availability and Reliability

NET+ Instructure Canvas comes with a 99.9% uptime guarantee, which is contractually agreed upon between Instructure and Internet2 in the Service Level Agreement. In addition, NET+ Instructure Canvas provides data protection through data replication, backup/restore and disaster recovery procedures at no additional charge.

Ease of Use

A familiar, intuitive interface means most users already have the skills they need to navigate, learn, and use NET+ Instructure Canvas. The NET+ Instructure Canvas program includes a custom repository of end-user-oriented documentation and training material developed by the participating universities, Instructure, and Internet2.

Students and faculty can conveniently access the NET+ Instructure Canvas system using their standard campus login credentials. NET+ Instructure Canvas supports Single Sign-On (SSO) through several types of federated identity management systems, including SAML2/Shibboleth, LDAP, CAS, and Active Directory. Instructure is a member of InCommon and a Service Provider.

Integration

Allows institutions and instructors to use the web tools that they want. Integration of Google Drive, a wiki, or many other third-party systems is easy using the NET+ Instructure Canvas open API, LTI, RSS or other integration methods. Beyond giving institutions the flexibility to develop their own integrations, NET+ Instructure Canvas will include current or planned integrations with other Internet2 NET+ services and the Internet2 research and education network.
