accessing Canvas courses

[randallthompson]

 I watched the demo and think the Canvas program is great.  I got frustrated trying to figure out what I need to do to make a course accessible for others to use.  If I am a subscriber and create a course, can I export it to Blackboard or Schoology to allow school teachers/students to access it or do they too need to become "users or subscribers" to Canvas??

Thanks,  Randy

@randallthompson Welcome to the Canvas Community!  Canvas is its own Learning Management System (a competitor of Blackboard and Schoology) so it is meant to be used on its own.  Meaning, yes, you would add the users to your Canvas instance.  That said, you can export content from Canvas but it will not always be directly compatible with other LMS systems as each has their own features.

Hope this helps!
