I'm retiring from my college this month, but I still want access to my material. How does that work?
You can make a Free For Teachers account and move your content there.
Note that FFT does not support some features, such as New Quizzes, and any LTI that your institution paid for.

Hi @bbelroy ...
I'll just add to what @Gabriel33 wrote... you might want to check out the PDF comparison chart linked on Canvas Free-for-Teacher FAQ because there are some differences between a paid Canvas environment and a Free For Teacher account.
Hi @bbelroy ,
In addition to the information provided to you by @Chris_Hofer and @Gabriel33 , I wanted to add on. You are able to download your course content via your course settings by clicking on the 'Export Course Content' button on the right-hand side of the page. You can also share your course to Canvas Commons, however please take note that if you do move over to free for teacher, you can only access publicly shared resources, so you would have to share your course publicly from your existing institution's canvas commons. If your institution does not have Canvas Commons enabled, your only option is to export your course from your course's settings, as mentioned before.
I hope that helps, too!Noah

We are looking to use the portfolio tool as a foundation for our new Master of Organizational…
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
