Instructure, the maker of Canvas LMS, announced last month the launch of its native AI solution called IgniteAI.
Powered by AWS Bedrock, IgniteAI is embedded within Canvas and Mastery to conduct tasks such as creating quizzes, generating rubrics, summarizing discussions, and aligning content to outcomes.
It also leverages the Model Context Protocol (MCP) standard and extends the LTI framework. This way, Canvas LMS’ ecosystem of 1,100 edtech partners and LLMs like Anthropic and OpenAI can integrate their agentic AI solutions.
IgniteAI emphasizes data protection compliance with COPPA, FERPA, and GDPR. In terms of accessibility, Canvas LMS and other products are achieving WCAG 2.2 AA compliance as part of a recent Voluntary Product Accessibility Test (VPAT).
In addition, Instructure announced several updates to its product suite Canvas, featuring redesigned dashboards and modules, an improved mobile app, specialized STEM items, enhanced proctoring capabilities in New Quizzes, and new student portfolios that showcase diverse learning progress.
