The so-called "Learning Management System" (LMS) that we use at the #UniversityofAmsterdam and #AmsterdamUniversityCollege is called "Canvas".

#Canvas is owned by Instructure, which in turn was bought in 2024 - for 4.8 billion USD - by #KKR, a US investment firm that has close ties with the arms industry and - as such - to the #IDF.

In July #Instructure signed a deal with #OpenAI to work towards the total integration of OpenAI's AI technologies into Canvas: https://www.forbes.com/sites/rayravaglia/2025/07/23/instructure-and-openai-harness-the-power-of-ai-to-transform-learning/

Hey there! On Wednesday, I completed the ILLC's Master of #Logic at the #UniversityOfAmsterdam

My supervisor and the rest of the committee were super nice to me, as were all the friends who have helped me throughout these two years. Amazing programme full of amazing people btw.

I am starting my #PhD next month. I'll be working on the foundations of programming languages under @stelios at #SDU's #ACPSection in #Odense, #Denmark. I am super psyched!
