Moving from Canvas Free-for-Teacher? How to Easily Migrate Your Courses

With the recent closing of Instructure’s Canvas Free-for-Teacher (FFT) tier, many independent instructors, small schools, and homeschools are looking for a reliable way to keep using the platform they love.

At WebHostingZone, we provide Managed Open-Source Canvas LMS Hosting. Because our platform is built directly on the official open-source code of Canvas, it features the exact same user interface, modules, quizzes, assignments, and gradebook workflows you are already using.

How to Transfer Your Content

Since data portability is a native feature of the platform, transferring your course is incredibly simple:

  • Export your course from your current account as a standard .imscc file.
  • Spin up the LMS server instance.
  • Import the .imscc file directly through your new admin dashboard.

We offer affordable dedicated environment packages designed specifically for small deployments, starting with our Minimal Canvas LMS plan.
