Canvas (https://github.com/instructure/canvas-lms) is open-source
2 comments

This actually surprises me, with how cruddy it is, I assumed it was proprietary... My uni switched to canvas from Moodle, to the general detriment of anyone without fast internet and a fast PC.
Do you know if they are using the a hosted version or hosting it themselves?
I brought this up once and a couple of university employees were quick to mention that features that actually let them use it at scale cost a bunch of money and there were fairly large support costs even for open source solutions.
