The Canvas alternative schools moved to

The April 29 and May 7, 2026 breaches exposed an estimated 275 million records across roughly 9,000 schools. Instructure's first public response was 11 days after disclosure. As of this writing 24+ class-action lawsuits have been filed. Existing Canvas tenants can stay if their district's legal counsel signs off — but most K-12 districts and several R1 universities have already opened evaluations for alternatives.

Drivia is AI-native (Canvas is a 2008-era content-delivery LMS bolted to a new UI). Every claim in every lesson includes clickable citations to verified sources — no instructor has to manually source material. JAX, our Socratic AI tutor, adapts in real time to each student. Progression is gated on mastery (70%+ quiz score), not seat time. Multi-tenant SSO/SAML deploys in a day, not 6 months. Annual cost is typically 30–60% lower than Canvas at equivalent seat count.

Three migration paths. (1) Coexistence: Drivia plugs into Canvas via LTI 1.3 as the AI-tutoring layer — your existing courses stay, students get JAX. (2) Phased: we import your most-used 20% of courses (typically generating 80% of activity) and run both LMSs through one academic term. (3) Full cutover: 2–4 weeks for content migration depending on catalog size. We handle the SSO redirects and student-history portability.

Yes. Drivia's data model is multi-tenant from day one — every Postgres row is RLS-policy-enforced and tenant-scoped. No customer's data is queryable by another customer even if a query were somehow constructed. We publish our isolation matrix on request. We log to an append-only audit table with 40+ event types. Webhooks are HMAC-SHA256 signed. SOC 2 Type I audit in progress (Q3 2026); Type II Q1 2027. The H2E AI governance framework gives us mathematically provable safety bounds on the AI tutor itself.

Canvas Enterprise typically lands between $7-$25/seat/year at K-12 volumes and $35-$75/seat/year at higher-ed volumes, with significant implementation fees (commonly $25k-$150k). Drivia is $25-$80/seat/year enterprise (often lower at high seat counts), zero implementation fee for hosted tenants, and includes the AI tutor + verified course library at no extra cost. Free for individual learners.

FERPA: yes. K-12 and higher-ed tenants are deployed on FERPA-compliant infrastructure with parent / guardian access controls, data export rights, and the directory-information lock controls FERPA requires. HIPAA: yes for healthcare-training tenants under a BAA. SOC 2 Type I audit underway. We're a registered SAM.gov vendor for federal contracting.

Yes. Drivia imports Canvas course exports (IMS Common Cartridge format) plus raw DOCX / PPTX / PDF. Once imported, the AI rewrites each lesson to include source citations and generates a mastery quiz. Instructors review + edit before publishing. Most schools report 60-80% of imported content is usable as-is after the citation pass.
