Canvas LMS Reviews

“easily monitor my courses”

Pros

I could easily monitor my courses, see which assignments I had finished and which ones I still needed to complete and submit.

Cons

There is nothing I can think of that needed changing. I thought it was perfectly fine just the way it was.

“Not customizable at all and offers zero support”

Pros

It was already set up by my university which was convenient. I also liked the built-in messaging system.

Cons

Well there is no way to customize things, the modules do not save our progress or show what you have already seen and you cannot delete old classes. Getting help from support is difficult and professors find it overly complicated.

“clean interface with efficient grading”

Pros

Being actively involved in teaching, the clean interface and simplicity are a huge plus. Organizing materials, creating assignments and quizzes and posting announcements is all efficient. Helpful extras like cloud sync, discussion boards and embedding videos are great for both instructors and students. The real lifesaver though is SpeedGrader which lets me review work, add comments and give detailed feedback making the whole grading process smooth and quick.

Cons

The notification system is a frequent annoyance. Announcements do show up for students but the alert is small and easy to overlook. Also while SpeedGrader is incredibly useful, it tends to run slowly with larger classes. These are the only small issues I have with the platform.

“Helped my son with his work”

Pros

It really helped my son with his classwork and homework. The layout is nice and the whole thing was simple for him to use.

Cons

I do not have anything negative to say about it. Everything functions perfectly.

“easy to get my materials”

Pros

All of my learning materials are just so easy to get to.

Cons

The app notifications were not always reliable for me.

“Brings all my kids school work together”

Pros

It is great how it brings all my kids online public school programs together into one place and gives them a space to communicate with their teachers.

Cons

Occasional technical glitches we run into are frustrating.

“Very Helpful for my studies”

Pros

Canvas LMS has been very convenient for my medical studies. Navigating the app is simple too and I use it for most of my homework, quizzes and tests without any trouble.

Cons

The system can be a bit buggy at times and will occasionally freeze up.

“all the tools to organize content”

Pros

It has all the tools needed to organize course content which really helps make teacher-student interaction smoother.

Cons

I noticed the mobile app was missing some of the features available on the main website.

“My main platform for teaching”

Pros

My main use for it is as an online platform for teaching my students.

Cons

There is not a single thing I dislike about it.

“Helpful alerts and a useful calendar”

Pros

Having the app and getting notifications for assignments is a big help. Plus I like that it alerts my phone when a new assignment is posted or a grade is updated. The calendar is also useful for keeping a chronological to-do list.

Cons

Finding our way around it is a bit confusing. Also the tabs are not very useful for locating the information you need.

“amazing organization and simple access”

Pros

The organization is amazing and I love how simple it is to access and switch between my different classes.

Cons

Some links on the left-hand menu like Big Blue Button and Collaborations, are pages I almost never use.

“Very user-friendly for finding materials”

Pros

Finding course materials, assignments and grades is very user friendly and easy for everyone to use.

Cons

The discussion board gets the job done but its design feels old compared to newer communication platforms. So I feel like a more modern and engaging layout would really improve student participation.

“smooth ERP Integration but Pricey”

Pros

It integrates well with our ERP (Ellucian's Colleague), and I find it pretty intuitive for both faculty and students. The mobile app is a big hit with students.

Cons

The price is on the higher side, which can be a drawback.

“CANVAS Review”

Pros

One of the things I really like about CANVAS is how it saves my work and calculates my grades. As a student, it is really easy to return to my saved work and see what I need to score on a test or final.

Cons

One thing I do not like about CANVAS is the textbox. While it has plenty of options for typing, it often notifies me about a better optimized way to do it. Even though it looks better, it can be annoying at times.

“Used it for a year”

Pros

I liked how easy it was to see what I was missing and to check my grades for the assignments I completed.

Cons

I could not save any attachments, which was a major drawback. It would have been nice to go back on my computer and review things I might have forgotten.

“CANVAS USER REVIEW”

Pros

I enjoyed being able to see my progress as soon as I logged into the dashboard.

Cons

I had no complaints while using this product.

“Your Best School Companion Tool”

Pros

CANVAS has been very important for me during college. Its intuitive design allows me to check my grades, review assignments from professors and access all the necessary tools to stay on top of my studies. It was also useful when I tutored high school students which allows me to check daily assignments and syllabi for upcoming tests.

Cons

A minor annoyance with CANVAS in the past has been dealing with professors who were not fully onboard with it. Sometimes, assignments and syllabi were missing. The portal is only as good as its users, and this applies to students who did not check the portal daily.

“Canvas Review”

Pros

What I like most about CANVAS is the alerts for new assignments or due dates.

Cons

I find the excessive notifications from other students commenting on discussion boards overwhelming.

“Great Product”

Pros

Everything is united into one place. All my college classes appear in one app, which is very helpful for keeping everything organized. I would recommend this product to anyone!

Cons

I have no complaints about CANVAS at all!

“unleash your creative potential!”

Pros

It offers a user-friendly interface, a wide range of creative tools, seamless collaboration features and accessibility across various devices.

Cons

It might lack advanced features compared to other professional design software (but thats not a problem for me). Also, there is no offline version available.
