Canvas access has been restored for our users, but the service reliability remains uncertain. Due to recent events, Canvas has had intermittent outages which are at the discretion of the vendor and may occur during a final exam. Faculty and staff may continue to use Canvas, but we strongly advise faculty and students to prepare a contingency plan for turning in assignments and final exams in the event Canvas access becomes unavailable again.
Instructure, the company that owns Canvas, has provided an FAQ about the incident, which may not answer all your questions. We will share more information if it becomes available.
Speaker: David Hartmann, founder of 3D-printing startup Helio Additive
Abstract
Large corporations have their own character in personality. When things are going well, they are all the same (success papers over differences) but in times of trouble each react in their own dysfunctional way. Intrapreneurship deliberately challenges the rules and activates the corporation’s immune system. It’s like wading upstream through mud. But it can deliver surprising rewards.
