Per a recent #EdTech discusssion forum...

Renewal licencing for hosted Canvas/Instructure is increasing to:

10% increase on year 1,
7% increase on year 2,
5% increase on year 3,

a staggering 24% increase over 3 years.

Earlier, I shared concerns from a popular #EdTech forum:

Licensing renewal for hosted Instructure Canvas is increasing by a staggering 24% over the next 3 years.

It's interesting that #HigherEducation will apparently stick with a proprietary system, even as prices soar. However, it will migrate off an #OpenSource system as soon as any costs are incurred.

@massonpj Just about any software the government has to pay for, the government could save money by funding an open source alternative.

Why don't they? Software vendors have political clout.
