Rubin Becomes Instructure Partner, Strengthens Connection to Canvas
At Rubin, we believe in the power of integrating educational tools to make the learning experience more seamless.
That’s why we embed Emerge, our signature online program for business communication skills, into the most popular learning management systems (LMS) used today. See all Emerge integrations.
This week, Rubin deepened its relationship with Canvas, the most widely-used LMS, by becoming an Instructure Partner. Instructure is the parent company for Canvas.
As an Instructure Partner, Rubin demonstrates it is a trusted application for Canvas courses within K-12 and higher education.
Administrators and IT support teams know an Instructure Partner is a vetted and approved resource that will integrate into school learning platforms of any size.
“We already work with high schools and universities that use the Canvas LMS so the decision to become an Instructure Partner is the next step in the right direction,” said Danny Rubin, founder of Rubin. “We want to show administrators and teachers we understand Canvas and know how to incorporate Emerge content and make the learning more meaningful for students.

Rubin Develops 100+ Printable Worksheets to Meet the Rise in Distance Learning
The image above is a snapshot of Emerge activities for email etiquette. Notice the hyperlink under each activity to a PDF version of the online exercise. Emerge has 100+ PDF worksheets that mirror the 100+ online activities in the learning platform. Whether students have access to internet or not, they can still complete Emerge activities.
Online and offline.
Emerge, our signature learning platform, features 100+ online activities students can do from any location on any device. It’s the perfect instructional tool for our digital world.
Yet the Covid-19 pandemic made clear that not all students have access to the internet or internet-connected devices when they learn at home. As well, certain student populations (ex: English language learners and special education) often prefer to learn through physical resources instead of a computer screen.
That means Emerge must also be an “offline” resource and allow students to gain important communication skills with paper and pen.
Now, such an urgent requirement is a reality.
The Rubin team has developed printable PDF versions of all 100+ online activities that cover in-demand skills like email etiquette, phone etiquette, networking, LinkedIn and more.
Whether students learn in the classroom via the internet or at home without the internet, Emerge is there.
“As soon as the Covid-19 pandemic sent students home by the millions, the educational community saw widespread inequity with respect to digital access at home,” said Danny Rubin, founder of Rubin. “We knew right then it would be critical to provide our materials in both a digital and hands-on format.”
Moving forward, Rubin intends to be a reliable curriculum for career development no matter the circumstances.
We are ready for the future of education — no matter what shape it takes.
We are online and offline.
