“Last year Instructure became the first provider to offer Immersive Reader for students,” said Mitch Benson, Instructure’s chief product officer, in a statement.

The Immersive Reader has been in beta testing for Canvas users over the past year, and starting last week, is now at general availability, and free for institutions to enable. All of the capabilities built-in to the Immersive Reader will now be able to Canvas customers. Based on early feedback, we hope to enable Immersive Reader in even more places in the future. Since we launched Immersive Reader as a Cognitive Service all to all partners last summer, a top request from educators and schools has been to integrate with Canvas.īy integrating the Immersive Reader, Canvas makes their Pages content available for learners of all abilities and can help with access content and reading. Open, intuitive, and born in the cloud, Canvas streamlines all the digital tools and content that teachers and students love, for a simpler and more connected learning experience. Canvas by Instructure is the learning platform that helps great education happen.

Last week, Instructure announced that the Microsoft Immersive Reader is now freely available to all Canvas users to make content more inclusive and accessible.
