Hello Cidi Labs Customer Community! In addition to our usual long list of exciting new resources, product updates, and events, this month’s newsletter includes a special invitation that you won’t want to miss. We can’t wait to see many of you in July!
Whether you are new to DesignPLUS or have been using it for years, we think you’ll love the amazing new capabilities that have been added recently. This 2-minute video will show you how the new features can help you do things in your Canvas courses that you never thought were possible!

Since opening the doors in early April to the DesignPLUS Library, members of the Cidi Labs Community have contributed some awesome new assets! Check out the featured items below, be sure to visit the Library often to see what’s been added, and keep those contributions coming!
