ShareStream will showcase its new media solution for Canvas at Instructure’s annual user conference, InstructureCon, June 14th 2012 in Park City, Utah.
ShareStream’s video solution for Canvas enables faculty, staff and students to easily upload video, perform online video editing and submit video assignments to instructors.

“ShareStream is very pleased to partner with Instructure to provide our mutual customers with ShareStream’s video solution tightly integrated with Canvas,” stated David Weinstein, ShareStream’s CEO.
The use of video and other forms of media, such as audio, images and lecture capture files, has skyrocketed at educational institutions over recent years, particularly for teaching and learning.
“We’re just starting to see the huge value for today’s classroom in having seamlessly integrated video,” said Brian Whitmer, Co-Founder and Vice-President of Product at Instructure Canvas. “Instructure’s partnership with ShareStream will enhance the experience of both the teacher and the student.”
