Welcome to the NET+ Instructure Service Advisory Group!

Welcome to the NET+ Instructure Service Advisory Group (SAG) homepage. This to be a home base for SAG activities, annual goals, produced documentation, and membership involvement information. For questions and feedback, please contact netplus@internet2.edu.

The Internet2 NET+ Instructure Program is open to all Internet2 members, and the work of the Service Advisory Group ensures the program offering continues to meet the Program needs of subscribing Internet2 member institutions. SAG members meet monthly to discuss varied topics based on the needs of the community, Instructure's product roadmap, annual SAG goals, and other related changes to the Higher Education landscape. The NET+ Instructure Service Advisory Group is charged with supporting the ongoing strategic management of the Instructure program and serves as a community focal point for feedback from the broader service subscriber base.

Service Advisory Group Meetings

SAG meetings are held monthly via Zoom for an hour in duration and meeting agendas are published to group members ahead of each scheduled call. Additionally, the NET+ Instructure SAG convenes in person 1-2 times per year: once in the February/March timeframe at Instructure's HQ Office in Salt Lake City, and once during the summer while at Instructure's annual conference, InstructureCon. Past and current meeting agendas are available in the 2020-2025 agenda archive. 

Annual SAG Goals

At the start of each year, Service Advisory Group Members define a set of objectives that help frame meeting agendas, larger discussions, and priorities for the ensuing 12 months. Past and current SAG Goals are available in the 2020-2025 goals archive.
