“Canvas is a powerful tool for learning and knowledge sharing, although a real-time chat system could improve collaboration.”

Pros

Email system and management of various section of the coursework are 2 good features. The email system will filter contact list based on the coursework enrolled which will avoid sending emails to wrong people having similar names.

Cons

Lack of a built-in chat system, a real-time feature like MS Teams' chat would improve team coordination.
