Support Services Analyst Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Pros and Cons in my point of view" December 11, 2024 4.0 My experience has been just ok not that great. There are my good thing but also there are some features which effects my experience badly. Pros At top I love how organized and neat Canvas is which really makes my work easy also I love how I can collaborate with my co-workers and share files. I can see any update in real time which helps me to stay up to date. Cons I dislike most is that there is no undo button available there which slows down my working speed due to retyping and I faced so difficulty while using on mobile also there is no option of auto save which is a big off.

Am now using Canvas in my MSW at UWYO. Pros I like the dashboard set up with all upcoming tasks right as I login. I also like the grading set up. Cons I wish forming groups was more intuitive. Switched from [Moodle](https://www.capterra.com/p/80691/Moodle/) I switched institutions from one that used Moodle to one that uses Canvas. Review Source KR Kaitlyn R.

Test Technician Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Canvas Review" October 10, 2024 5.0 I used Canvas during my school. Even though I recently graduated, Canvas was really helpful application to keep me studying hard by reviewing material (lecture notes, HW answer sheets, and practice exams) and tracking all test scores. My instructor usually used Canvas to organize and manage the classes, I believe it was effective for both the instructors and students. Pros Easily recognizable for each class. I especially like this app because it is good to use on both on the phone and iPad. The interface is stable and intuitive. This easy access to class study material makes better productivity and easy to handle the class schedule and material ANYWHERE with an internet connection.

Student Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great platform for college students " November 25, 2024 5.0 I used canvas for four years as a college student and it was a great way for me to stay organized and be able to see all of my course information in one central location. Most of my professors were great about putting all materials that were needed for the course on there. Pros being able to see information for all of my classes in one place Cons There was nothing I did not like about it Review Source RS Ryan S. Student Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Canvas Review" September 23, 2024 5.0 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. Switched from [Moodle](https://www.capterra.com/p/80691/Moodle/) My University had made the switch. I did not have a say in this. Review Source JK Junseok K.
