Yes, that whole discussion on the same topic, "Canvas vs. Moodle" https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=368215#p1495488 is a treasure!
We are likely to repeat the conversation here.

So this is the market that Canvas is going after, the simple instructor.
To the point! It was a huge puzzle for me, for example how Microsoft sold SharePoint as an LMS those days. Revisiting the topic today I question whether that 80% of the instructors, are they losing their legitimacy?

I would go a step further and say that you should own the data thus created. Yes, one can argue who really owns data, but definitely not a third-party!

Hi
It those content has lot of HTML tags, my experience is that https://moodle.org/plugins/filter_multilang2 is easier to handle, since its mark-up is not HTML.
