Devlin from Instructure here. It's great when someone actually takes the time to dig into the application and give some real feedback. Thank you.
From the sound of things I think you are using one of our free-for-teachers accounts, which gives you complete control over a course and not to the administrative tools that an admin would have. This is why it feels self-service and adhoc for small installs, because it is :)
We can integrate with a variety of SIS systems in batch/real-time for auto-populating thousands of courses. You can integrate with auth systems like LDAP and SAML too. We have features for migrating content from other vendors and also from semester to semester.
I'm happy to chat on the phone, answer questions here or you can set something up by emailing me [email protected] .
