Hi, @eecmaeoe , to create a Free For Teachers account, click on the Get a Free Canvas Account button at Instructure : Try Canvas. Once you've created the account, this resource should help : Free-for-Teacher Account FAQ After creating a course in the account, you would then follow the instructions in How do I export a Canvas course? and https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-12783-415241324 to bring the course content over to your new course. Keep in mind that Free For Teachers has a course size limit of 250mb, so if your course is larger than that, you'd want to modify it first before embarking on the export-import process.
Active users cannot be copied from one institution to another, and they are not included in a course copy or import. If you would like to set up the same course in your Free For Teachers account, you'll need to create user accounts in the free instance for each of the students and enroll them in the course.
