Per a recent #EdTech discusssion forum...
Renewal licencing for hosted Canvas/Instructure is increasing to:
10% increase on year 1,
7% increase on year 2,
5% increase on year 3,
a staggering 24% increase over 3 years.
Earlier, I shared concerns from a popular #EdTech forum:
Licensing renewal for hosted Instructure Canvas is increasing by a staggering 24% over the next 3 years.
It's interesting that #HigherEducation will apparently stick with a proprietary system, even as prices soar. However, it will migrate off an #OpenSource system as soon as any costs are incurred.
