Canvas LMS’ Post

“Talk about accessibility. Talk about it then do something about it.” This was Jóhanna Bjartmarsdóttir’s advice to educators at #CanvasConEU. As a student with accessibility needs, Jóhanna faced more barriers than she should have, before being able to pursue higher education. Now she's fighting for change through her consultancy HARTS. Thank you for sharing your remarkable story with us today Jóhanna ❤️💪.

How can we use AI as a force for good in education? This was the topic of conversation during today’s panel session at #CanvasConEU. Our panellists discussed: 📌 Being intentional about what you want to achieve with AI - be it feedback, administration or creative prompts 📌 Empowering students and teachers to use AI for efficiency, without compromising creativity and critical thinking 📌 Having the courage to stop the things that don’t work Thank you to our speakers Sara García García, Jacqueline Gasser-Beck, Leon van Bokhorst and Professor Martin Bean CBE for a thought-provoking session.

Key takeaways from our #CanvasConEU keynote with the amazing Dr A-Marie: 👩🔬 1 in 3 young people haven’t learned about a woman scientist in the past two years. We must rebalance the curriculum to highlight society's hidden figures. 🌍 How do we value the unique differences among our learners and ensure each student receives an equitable experience? We’re shaping the future — let’s make it inclusive. 💡We are currently living in someone else’s vision of the future. So how can we help the next generation of leaders start thinking about tomorrow, today? #DiversityInSTEM #WomenInTech #EquityInEducation
