Resume: Submit a resume clearly detailing your Instructure product experience, educational leadership, and experience in leading and driving change.
Screencast: Create a 3-5 minute instructional screencast about something an administrator or teacher would create in Mastery Connect that you would like to highlight. Take us through beginner, intermediate, and advanced scenarios. This is not training; rather, it's an opportunity to inspire stakeholders to leverage Mastery Connect.
