SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — YuJa, a leader in Active Learning solutions, announces a certified partnership with Instructure, the company that created the Canvas learning management system (LMS). This partnership allows lecture captures, live webcasting, real-time discussions, and synchronous video classroom experiences to integrate seamlessly into the Canvas LMS using Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI).

Canvas is an intuitive learning management system, bringing a range of resources and tools to students and instructors at K-12 schools, colleges and universities across the country.
