Same page. Yours to keep.
Designing Better Systems / Assignments
Return to the questions you began with in Week 1. Connect your final project to the readings, class discussions, and studio notes.
I wanted Canvas to never close after graduation. So I made it stay open.
We’re proud that you care this much about what you study. You chose a path you love. Keep it with you as you chase what comes next.
What makes it different
Not a mystery folder of disconnected downloads. The course still feels like the course you remember opening.
Teacher comments, TA notes, scores, and visible rubric details stay with the page that gives them meaning.
Visible threads, posts, and expanded replies remain part of the conversation instead of becoming loose text.
Modules, announcements, pages, assignments, links, and files stay organized around the way you learned them.
Save supported course media and export lecture videos to audio (MP3) for the material you want to revisit.
Simple by design
You keep using Canvas the way you already do. CanDownloader helps you take home a copy of the courses you choose.
Sign in through your school’s own Canvas login page, including the same school sign-in or verification you already use.
Pick the course you want to keep. CanDownloader can only save pages your own account can already open.
Your saved pages, discussions, feedback, files, and course structure go into a folder you control.
Before the door closes
CanDownloader does not reopen a course after your school removes access. It preserves the version you can see today, before it disappears.
For one specific Canvas problem
The homepage stays simple. These practical guides answer the detailed questions students search before graduation.
It is designed to save the visible Canvas page with the context around it, including expanded discussion replies, submission comments, instructor or TA feedback, and visible rubric details where available.
No. CanDownloader makes a personal, browsable copy of the Canvas pages you can access. It is not an official Canvas package for importing a course into another school system.
No. It must be used while your own Canvas account can still open the course. If access has already ended, CanDownloader cannot restore it.
Make your Canvas time capsule
Start with the one course you would be most upset to lose.
This is the strongest version of your idea. Keep following the question at the end; it could become the start of your next project.
