Hello Instructure Community,
I wanted to make my course public, but it displayed a message telling me to contact my administrator if I want to publicize it. I'd like to know who is the administrator for Canvas Free for Teachers?
Sincerely,
Callie
Hi @CallieAlreza,
While I believe there are a few people who watch over the Free for teacher environment for issues, it's mostly a what you see if what is available type of thing, and not all Canvas features will be available there. Specifically for making courses public, the Canvas Free-for-Teacher FAQ does say you can contact Canvas support, but I don't know if there are other requirements or anything.
I hope this helps!

Hi @CallieAlreza ,
@chriscas is correct. There are a few members from the product team that oversee the Free for Teacher Canvas environments.
If you need to make your course public, please utilize the "Help" button on the gray global navigation bar (on the left-hand side of the page) and utilize the "Report a Problem" link and fill out the form explaining you would like to make your course public. Due to issues in the past, teachers can no longer make their courses public on the Free for Teacher environment without assistance from a Canvas employee.
I also wanted to include that there is no live chat or phone number for support with Free for Teacher. Those support-tiers are only available to institutions that pay for Canvas and add that on as a subscription. The employees who assist with managing the FFT instance only provide basic support which includes resetting passwords, deleting accounts, restoring courses and adjusting the course visibility (your scenario), so you should satisfy all the requirements for them to assist you.
I hope this information is also helpful! If you still require assistance, feel free to come back and let us know.- Noah

It shows on the quiz page there are 25 questions, but when I edit and open to Questions it shows groups with NO questions in them. How do I get the…
Has anyone noticed that the feedback sidebar window has gone to larger spacing? Does anyone know if there is a way to change it back? Not a major deal just a bit annoying is all. Thanks.
Are you using MyTextMate's Canvas integration, or are you relying on Canvas's push notifications to deliver crucial information about due dates and events to students? Did you know push notifications have an open rate of 2%? Compare that to text messages, which have an open rate of 98%! MyTextMate allows students to…
I am trying to generate the Item Analysis report ONLY for the current students enrolled in the course, not for previous participants. Despite deactivating and removing the former students, the Item Analysis report is still including their information. I need information for the current 5 participants, not the past 5, but…
I am trying to setup automatic email alerts to the students once the assignment due date has crossed. Is there a way to do that with Free for Teachers Canvas or other alternate options?
