Good morning, In trying to access my free instructor's account last night, I came to learn for the first time that Canvas has discontinued the program. I also have several years of work stored in that account that includes five different course preps! I entrust Canvas to store it there as my course preps change frequently…
When changing jobs I saved some of my own instructor materials, presumably on a free-for-teacher account, a type which appears no longer to exist. How can I access my materials for further development?
How do I export content if I missed the May Window?
Has anyone found another viable option for an independent teacher needing an LMS? I see some posts about Google Classroom, but frankly I'm not a fan. Is there another free LMS that is available to us since Instructure won't have anything available for us before classes start in the fall?
I have asked this question several times and the only response I have received is "refer to Terms and Conditions." What happens to our content that was previously hosted on Free-For-Teacher? Has it been archived? Deleted? Two points. That content is the user's intellectual property. That content has user names, likenesses,…
Hi, Can someone from the Canvas team please support me in exporting my course content? There was no email sent or a clear post on the relevant Free-for-Teacher version page to have known about the open window period. This is causing quite the conundrum for my team and me. I would greatly appreciate some assistance.…
Hi, I'm a former Free-for-Teacher user and I need help recovering my content. My account hosted my organization's entire professional training program — many hours of material that we actively depend on. Unfortunately, I was not able to export my courses during the May 28–29 restoration window, and Canvas Support has told…
Hola, soy un antiguo usuario de Free-for-Teacher y necesito ayuda para recuperar mi contenido. Mi cuenta alojaba todo el programa de formación profesional de mi organización: muchas horas de material del que dependemos activamente. Lamentablemente, no pude exportar mis cursos durante el periodo de restauración del 28 y 29…
Many educators are still waiting for clear communication regarding the status of our course content and whether there will be another opportunity to retrieve it. For those of us who did not receive or see notice of the download window, a brief two-day recovery period was simply not enough. Many teachers are now facing the…
As a longtime Free for Teacher user, I fully understand and support the need for decisive action following a security incident. I also work in higher education and recognize that protecting user data must be the top priority. That said, many educators are still waiting for clear communication regarding the status of our…
Instead of having the 48-hour window, which Instructure describes as being heavily resource-intensive, wouldn't it have been easier to start a batch process of creating export files for every Free For Teacher site, storing them in the cloud, and sending a link to the administrator of each site? And BTW, why not do that now?
Hoping there will be another opportunity for us to access our courses to download or move?
Hello! I've followed directions for exporting my course, but when I try to download the export, it tells me that I don't have an application to open the file. I have a Mac. How should I work around this?
I am trying to reset my password, to go an export course content, and I have not received an email in an hour of entering my email.
Hello, My small institution wants to further investigate moving to the paid option. Could someone please reach out to me with the appropriate contact information? Thank you! Latanya
