Canvas’s ransom incident is not just a cybersecurity story. It is an academic continuity failure mode that played out during finals, when institutions have the least operational slack and the highest student impact. Across late April and early May 2026, Instructure reported unauthorized access to Canvas, a second exploit path days later, temporary platform shutdowns, and a subsequent agreement with the threat actor.

AI is transforming education at a time when systems are already stretched thin. We face teacher shortages, student disengagement, rising dropout rates, and an impending wave of job disruption. In his conversation on the EdTech Dots Podcast, Greg Margas articulated a tension that many builders experience. We are overwhelmed by ideas and hype, yet we often lack focus on the few things that will truly matter in the next decade. This article extracts several key themes from Greg’

Is digital accessibility just a checkbox, or a core promise? As our lives move ever more online, digital accessibility isn’t just a compliance buzzword. For billions around the world, including over 1 billion people with disabilities, it's a matter of participation and potential.

Today, thanks to rapid advances in AI, they’re quietly becoming “features,” not exceptions. But is AI actually making education more accessibl

Nevertheless, digital spending is accelerating, forecasted to grow to $404
