CANVAS Reviews

A dawn of a new LMS app

Comments: Using Canvas has been a great experience. It has helped me enough to come out with good designs for a classroom background. The internet helps to get access to new and updated designs. It was easy to use, but I think will be a bit difficult for a beginner. The previous app I was using had an offline activity,

Pros:

i switched to Canvas because of its ease of use and ability to key in data easily. It has helped me to create an easy classroom where I can integrate all that I need from teaching to data entry and assessment.

Cons:

the integration with the usage of the internet makes it cumbersome for usage especially in areas where there is poor internet connectivity. This means that one has to be online to before usage.

CANVAS is the missing key in education management.

Comments: I am fully satisfied by it's doings. A fruitful and easy experience with CANVAS.

Pros:

CANVAS has advanced learning management features which makes it more effective compared to its competitors. With CANVAS we are able to keep track of assignments very easy to use and very helpful. It's deliberately helpful I can fully guarantee that. I have never missed any assignments and all thanks to CANVAS.

Cons:

We can all agree that CANVAS does it's job perfectly. No cons.

on the fence

Comments: initially, really happy easy to follow and clear layout, however when wanting to extend the options for the learning of the students I found it limited. also became hard when students were unable to get in

Pros:

I liked the app version that some of our student who had iPad used. It was easy to maneuver through different pages . liked that it has immersive reader function, could be in a different colour background

Cons:

the lack of interactive learning experiences that was able to be created. lack of creative ability to make the experience more visual. didnt cater for all learning styles. When learners forgot their passwords the forgotten password link didn't work. issues with learners finding the right page to log in to.

A fruitful learning experience

Comments: A user-friendly LMS platform with interactive features to offer a joyful learning experience. It is best known for its variety of tools, third-party integrations and multimedia content to help grab the students' attention and increase the potential of both motivation and success.

Pros:

As a lecturer in English, mainly after COVID-19 incident, Canvas turned around online learning through its revolutionary friendly-user tools that range from clustering sections and arranging activities to video conferencing and quizzes settings. Canvas dashboard or rather facilities can be naively navigated. More than that, the number of integrations is really huge to offer the best learning experience.

Cons:

Though a leading LMS platform, Canvas still struggles with mobile performance; it still takes much time to load sometimes. I can add that it is hard at certain phases to synchronize updates and changes when it comes to third-party applications.

I love Canvas!

Comments: I have had a very positive overall experience with Canvas. In my high school we used to use a different platform, and when I switched to Canvas I immediately liked it better. It is very easy to use and laid out nicely.

Pros:

I have enjoyed using Canvas throughout my college years, as it is a very organized, easy-to-understand platform. I enjoy the many different applications such as the calendar, modules, and different colors for different classes. It helps me stay organized and I have never missed an assignment because of it!

Cons:

One of the things I found challenging on Canvas was the inability to cross off things from my to-do list manually. For example, when you submit an assignment, it crosses it off for you. However, some assignments were turned in in-person rather than online, and those assignments did not get crossed off on Canvas, which made it look like they were not completed even though they were.

I like it!

Comments: I have enjoyed using it in my Master’s program. It’s easy to use and no learning curve.

Pros:

I love the organization and how I can easily access each class and navigate between them.

Cons:

I hardly use some on the pages on the left bar, like big blue button, collaborations, office 365, etc.

Perfect For Student Duties

Pros:

Convenient for usage for my medical studies. easy to navigate without any real hassle a majority of my homework, quizzes and all tests are done through the app.

Cons:

Sometimes can be a bit buggy and freezes on occasion

Canvas review

Comments: My overall experience has been great and positive.

Pros:

I love the ease of use. Once you work with it for a while it is easy to navigate, it depends on the instructor how your class is laid out.

Cons:

I wish you could change the main color of the canvas home page task bar. I do not like the blue

Solid product with extensive functionality

Comments: Overall experience is very good with this product

Pros:

Easy to use and options to integrate with other products/vendors

Cons:

Cost, and initial setup and implementation

Canvas Review

Comments: Pretty great, I use it everyday and love it

Pros:

Its usability and being able to complete work on my phone or laptop.

Cons:

It was a bit difficult to turn on notifications at first

Canvas Review

Comments: It was overall a good experience as a student. I cannot speak on the professor/teaching side. I believe my peers all agreed when the switch was made at my college. The system was much cleaner than Moodle.

Pros:

Canvas made college very easy. It helps separate different courses I was taking, reach out to professors/classmates, see grades along with assignments. My college had switched over to Canvas from Moodle and the layout on Canvas was much better.

Cons:

I did not like the only test taking format. It was very east to skip over a question in the moment and plan to go back to the question. Due to the quiz being only, you would have to go pack "pages" to find the question skipped over. This would sometimes result in questions not being answered at the end of the quiz/test. I think they should add a side bar that highlights skipped over questions. This is only a problem if you plan to skip around during a quiz/test like I would.

I prefer Canvas to other similar platforms

Comments: I used Canvas during high school and college, and I prefer it to other similar platforms that I have previously used.

Pros:

Canvas is a very organized platform. It is pretty easy finding specific classes. It provides a to do list with all your soon due work on the dashboard. You can also get a to do list for a specific class. In short, Canvas provides you with the same information in your preffered way, whatever it is.

Cons:

One thing I did not like about Canvas is that my teachers were unable to provide extra credit to just selected students. Assignments had to be given to all and were graded as a part of the overall percentage, and we had to find ways to work around that.

CANVAS-A Great Coursework Management Program

Comments: CANVAS is a great coursework program that provides me with organized platform to create and access my coursework. I’m very pleased with its’ simplicity yet effectiveness in cataloging courses and their attributes.

Pros:

The thing I liked the most is how it integrates my schools design. It matches its colors and is aesthetically pleasing. This makes me more motivated to finish assignments and sign on.

Cons:

What I liked least about canvas is how it can be a bit confusing when being messaged through CANVAS and your email at the same time.

Efficient and User-Friendly: A Review of CANVAS’s Features and Support

Comments: Overall, I appreciate the functions of CANVAS, its ease of access and use, the exam-setting features, and the support from both the CANVAS community and technical support.

Pros:

CANVAS is an easy-to-use tool for uploading materials and setting up assignments with assessment rubrics. I also use CANVAS to administer exams to students, incorporating a third-party proctoring function.

Cons:

One definite improvement CANVAS needs is the ability to apply multiple rubrics to a single assignment. Currently, CANVAS only allows one rubric per assignment, which is not practical for higher education.

Canvas review

Comments: Canvas is a great and user friendly platform for customization and collaboration with some technical issues and limited support on certain file types. But overall exercise is very robust.

Pros:

Canvas has a mobile app, allowing users to access courses and content on-the-go.

Cons:

While Canvas is generally user-friendly, some instructors or students may find it challenging to navigate or utilize advanced features.

Amazing for Students and Professionals!

Comments: Its been great! It's an amazing software for students and professionals. It makes things incredibly easy and does so much of the organization work for you. Its so easy to keep on track with things when your working with Canvas

Pros:

How centralized everything is. I use it as a student. I love the some space where I can see all my one classes in one place, with all important information posted in the forefront making it so easy to navigate. I really enjoy how functional the sidebar is as well, allowing me to see all my massages, documents, etc... in one single place that is easy to view everything all at once.

Cons:

I had no major issues with Canvas. There was the occasional experience where things would buffer longer than a average, but that only occurred during live events when there were many people logging into the same server

Canvas Review

Comments: Overall, I’ve had a positive experience using Canvas throughout my college years. Over the past four years, I’ve encountered little to no issues with its functionality, making it a reliable platform for my academic needs.

Pros:

Canvas is a highly efficient and user-friendly app for students. It offers a variety of submission options, such as file uploads, text entries, and media recordings, making it adaptable to different assignment needs. Additionally, its built-in support features and the ability to directly communicate with instructors provide clarity and assistance, enhancing the overall learning experience.

Cons:

One of the least likable aspects of Canvas is its notification system, which can feel overwhelming if not managed properly. I often receive a high volume of alerts for updates, assignments, and discussions, which can be difficult to organize.

Canvas Review

Comments: My overall experience in Canvas was very good. It is easy for me to navigate my students progress, make an announcement, create a discussion board, messages students using the canvas inbox, and many more.

Pros:

I like how easy to navigate and to use it.

Cons:

The least that I like in canvas is the discussion board because not all the time that the student always use the discussion board even if it is instructed by the teacher to use the discussion board with your classmates for interaction purposes.

Review of CANVAS

Comments: Despite this limitation, my overall experience with CANVAS has been positive. It's a user-friendly platform that offers a wide range of design tools, making it accessible and useful for various design projects. However, improvements in animation features would make it even more versatile and better suited for fulfilling all design requirements.

Pros:

The versatility of design options in CANVAS is exceptional. This means that when you're creating something, whether it's a poster, social media graphic, or presentation, you have a lot of choices and flexibility. CANVAS offers a variety of templates and customization features, allowing users to tailor their designs to their specific needs effectively. This versatility is crucial because it ensures that users can create visually appealing content that suits their preferences and requirements.

Cons:

However, CANVAS lacks advanced animation capabilities. This means that while you can create static designs easily, the platform isn't as equipped for creating dynamic or animated content. For those working on more complex design projects that require animations, CANVAS might not be the ideal choice. It would be beneficial for the platform to offer more animation tools to enhance its functionality and cater to a wider range of design needs.

Easy, functional and helpful CMS tool.

Comments: Canvas makes course/module creation, management, and marking an absolute breeze. As a university administrator I remember life before and after Canvas and oh my it was such an upgrade. It has a simple backend, so you don’t need to be a tech guru to master it, although initial module set up can be tedious. Accessing submitted assignments and marking is incredibly easy for both teachers and admin, and from my experience students found it pretty easy to upload as well.

Pros:

Quick and simple LMS for all things course related, making an admins life much easier. Announcements are also a great feature, that really help with staff to student communication.

Cons:

It takes a decent amount of time to set up every single module for an entire academic year.

College experience

Comments: Overall, it’s been easy to follow. The format makes sense. You’re able to upload assignments via mobile app as well. It makes planning much easier.

Pros:

Canvas is fairly easy to navigate. The dashboard for classes and assignment makes it easy to keep track of homework.

Cons:

The one thing that stands out is you are able to calculate only SOME of your classes hypothetical grade.

Great but there’s a learning curve

Comments: Canvas is a good tool for staying organized, but it could be easier to use. Once you get the hang of it, it’s great for managing school tasks, but it would be even better if the setup and syncing were simpler. It’s worth trying out, especially if you have a lot of assignments to track.

Pros:

useful tool for organizing assignments, notes, and deadlines. It makes it easy to keep track of school work by organizing everything in one place. The interface is clean, and the calendar feature helps me stay on top of due dates. It's great for managing multiple classes without feeling overwhelmed.

Cons:

While Canvas is helpful, it can be a bit confusing at first. Some features aren't very intuitive, so it took me a little while to figure them out. It also doesn’t sync perfectly with all school systems, which sometimes makes it hard to import all my assignments automatically.

Great platform for teach-student communication

Comments: Overall, I am very grateful my school used Canvas for their students/professors, and enjoyed my experience using it

Pros:

Canvas is a great tool to that lays out all of the classes you're taking, and helps both teachers and students to stay organized. It is easy to see grades, and receive announcements made by your professors

Cons:

Sometimes it can be glitchy, and a class or assignment may not show up correctly. I also wish you could customize the look of your dashboard.

A Look Into Canvas - College Student's Experience

Comments: I would describe my overall experience Canvas to be fine. It does what it's intended to do, and I don't have specific issues with it aside from the lack of a Dark Mode interface. Otherwise, I find the platform to work well for what it does.

Pros:

I primarily liked the Canvas Calendar feature which allowed me to view my assignments and tasks from a Calendar view. Being able to add my own tasks to the Calendar was quite helpful as well. It allowed me to see all my due dates at a glance for each of my college classes.

Cons:

I continue to find it particularly annoying that Canvas does not have a native Dark Mode built in. While there is a third-party Chrome extension to accomplish this, the same extension is note available for Safari. It would help users that use Canvas at night (or in the dark) to not be blinded by the white background.

Helpful as a one-stop course platform

Comments: It is a generally positive experience as a one-stop system for your online class, especially for communicating with your students. It may take a bit of time to adjust to the more tedious steps at first, but it is helpful for keeping all class materials (including attendance and your grade book) in one system.

Pros:

It's a pretty simple system for creating an online class, uploading files, etc. The grading platform is useful and convenient as well -- you can input grades and comments directly without downloading student work. The notification system really helped send reminders to students when deadlines are approaching.

Cons:

The uploading process, while simple, has some tedious steps that requires some getting-used-to. It is also very easy to forget to make changes to linked pages when you edit one of the pages (i.e. take down an old file and upload a new one). I with there was a way to automatically update all linked pages when something is changed on one of the pages.
