The target is EesySoft, to be rebranded as "Impact by Instructure," which will create in-app messages, dashboards and analytics to help educators implement new digital learning tools and evaluate their usefulness. According to the announcement, Impact by Instructure aims to give users "a bird's-eye view of how well students and educators are engaging with available tools,” as well as support services for instructional staff learning to use new ed-tech systems.
The company says the purchase will build upon Instructure’s existing partnership with the vendor, which helped schools adopt to platforms such as Canvas, Instructure’s learning management system used by millions of K-12 students across the U.S.
The acquisition comes seven months after the company purchased K-12 assessment and analytics company Certica Solutions amid an increase in demand for virtual learning options and products during the pandemic.
