Pros The to do lists that tells me when my assignments are due. Cons The wording "module" for my work. I would like another heading displayed. Switched from [Sakai LMS](https://www.capterra.com/p/124698/Sakai-CLE/) The school i attend uses it and requires students at the university of south alabama to use. Review Source Melissa M.

I have found Canvas to be a simplified way to organize information that is easy to update. Pros This software makes course management easy. I have used Canvas both for academic course offerings as a college professor and also for training modules within a professional position. Canvas allows you to easily organize content, upload files, video and videos and link to external content. It's easy to create quizzes and exams and many custom options area available. It's easy to set due dates and to track who is logging in and how long they are spending on material. You can also conduct discussions and peer reviews. Due dates and easy to set and the gradebook is easy to utilize. Cons It can be hard to create things that are visually appealing if you aren't a course designer with code knowledge. Setting up a course or training module takes considerable time (but that is to be expected). You have to use the product for a while to truly understand the functionality and how to make it work bestfor you. Review Source KG Kim G. Clinic Director Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very dishonest and overpriced" July 8, 2023 1.0 Very poor. Over priced, deceitful, underperforming Pros The website looks nice and our point of contact has been easy to work with. Would be happy if we were just paying for website hosting services. Unfortunately we are paying for a much higher package and not using all the add ons. Its not worth it. Cons The sales process was extremely dishonest. We were told that we could change our package level at anytime, so we went with one of their higher packages thinking we were going to get good value for our money. We have not been getting most of the services we thought we were paying for. We were really wanting the SEO services to help boost our website and business listings. We are paying for Roya to do it, but they have not been holding up their end of the contract. Our website is missing meta tags, or others are too long. They did no optimization for our online listings, we are paying another company to do this so that we can actually show up in google searches. When we told them we want to downgrade because we aren't getting most of what we are paying for, they told us we couldn't. The sales guy, \[sensitive content hidden\] , lied to us about this. If we knew we couldn't downgrade, then we would have started on a lower package. The backend of the website they built for us is extremely difficult to use and is time consuming to make changes.

I found Canvas very useful and convenient to use. Canvas provides me 24\*7 hours of access to the course content and communication option with my peers and teachers, so I can plan my time accordingly. Pros Canvas is a great online platform for learning management system and nowadays used by multiple Universities which provide online learning courses/classes. I am a user of the Canvas mobile app and I find it very useful in terms of basic layout, user-friendliness, and ease of use. For professors and students, it is a great tool to keep in touch outside of the class, making announcements and notifications, posting assignments and grades. The tool allows you to create message boards, post videos, and documents, easy communication between students and teachers for work submission and feedback. Students can see their course completion status and various modules available in easy to use interface. Videos content streaming works fine and you would not find any lag. Course content is organized structurally and easy to navigate and access. Cons Integration with third-party software can be improved. Discussion board section can be improved as it is difficult to differentiate between the original post and response. Some of the user interfaces can be improved to give them a more creative look and feel. Analytical capabilities can be added. Review Source Michael B. Doctoral Research Assistant Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Top Notch Educational Learning Platform" June 30, 2020 4.0 Despite the (few) negatives, Canvas is still, in my opinion, the best learning platform out there. As both a student and instructor in higher education, it serves its purpose in providing a high quality experience for students. Pros Great options for customizing your class to better reach your students. Love that I can add additional apps and third party extensions to my own page (e.g. Flipgrid). Easy to transfer classes, add different learning modules, and add collaborators. Cons Somewhat of a steep learning curve to take full advantage of all the customizations and layout features. Can sometimes be difficult to get an actual person to assist if you have questions, but it does provide helpful FAQ. In my opinion, there are too many steps to upload files and add them to certain locations on your page.

There is also a lot of customization available to instructors. Cons While there is lots of customization available to instructors, it also means that there can be a lack of standardization...so it may be easy to find things for one class but not for another Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Buyer Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Canvas for online students" May 15, 2019 4.0 Pros I used Canvas as an online student. It was fairly simple to access and use. Intuitive and allowed sufficient space to write and upload documents. Cons I don't have much to say here. Hard to know if it was the software or nuances of the professor. Review Source Nick A. District Staff Development Coordinator Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Effective LMS for Teaching" September 20, 2018 5.0 This is a great LMS , with a great design/layout, a variety of features, and truly capitalizes on the collaborative aspect. This is truly geared toward k-12 education and is an effective choice to schools. Pros The customization features. Canvas does a nice job allowing users various options in order to customize their classes to their needs. You can pretty much arrange your course and materials any way you want. I like that small group feature to build collaboration and open dialogue. This is great when doing socratic seminars, online discussions in modules, jig saw or fishbowl activities in the classroom, etc. Plus, it affords you an opportunity to send materials discreetly to specific groups of students. Great for personalizing instruction. Canvas also allows for embedding of various third party applications. Great way to tie everything into one place. Cons I love the ability to gamify learning modules for students or integrate self-paced learning. This is missing with Canvas. The ability to set completion settings or award badges who add another element to the platform. that is missing currently. Review Source Nicolas H.

The ability to import content from other LMS such as Blackboard and Moodle is a big advantage . I think it would be a smooth transfer for those who want to switch . Cons As in every technology, errors and technical difficulties emerge , so it is advisable to have an IT skilled available to resolve and technical issue with CANVAS Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Graduate Research Scientist Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A great tool for class grades and communication management" October 18, 2018 4.0 Very pleasant upgrade from the previous online class management software. Pros Its very cross platform friendly. I could easily enter grades and communicate on both my phone and tablet. Cons Poor excel integration. The software cannot import data from excel into its database effectively. Review Source MG Matt G. Practice Manager Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Canvas looks great and has a lot of different options and features" April 6, 2018 5.0 Pros Options and features- there are a lot of customizable options available to make the look and feel inline with what is needed. Things can be changes out quickly and easily. Cons Trying to make changes on our own to the backend can be cumbersome at times, but I've dealt with platforms that are much more cumbersome. Administrators help a lot with any changes needed or requested Review Source KE Kelly E.

Pros I am taking community college classes and the software that we use for the online learning part is Canvas. It is pretty easy to maneuver to find and post things. Cons I have had no issues or negative experiences with Canvas so far. Review Source LB Lacey B. Director of Marketing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to use " April 3, 2018 5.0 Pros Provided to us by our website designers - not involved in the decision to use User friendly Easy to add pictures Cons Provided to us by our website designers - not involved in the decision to use Slow to publish updates Blocks not easy to maniupalte Review Source AO Amylyn O.

Pros Made online learning a lot easier for the students than the portal jenzabar system we had previously. Cons App for Canvas does not work a lot of the time. At times there are glitches in the system and publishing looks as if it catches some glitches. Review Source EA Edward A. Business Development Representative Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Useful service to manage courses" June 26, 2019 5.0 Pros Canvas makes easy to manage course and provides an easy way to have an overview of grades Cons The mobile app is a bit confusing, it cold have a cleaner design Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Property and Development Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good LMS software " June 28, 2020 4.0 Overall, we are very glad that we moved over to Canvas. Pros Canvas was very easy to pick up and navigate. It has good depth of features and is quite a robust platform from my perspective. Cons There are so many features that it does take a little bit of time to get understand. However, they do have detailed onboarding processes. Review Source MG Michael G. Practice Manager Veterinary Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Mostly easy for me to make changes, support is great if I need assistance!" April 9, 2018 5.0 A website that is attractive and relatively easy to update. Pros Ease of use - for most of what I want to do on the site, I'm able to accomplish in a fairly efficient manner. Technical support has been great for when I'm not able to be successful on my own. Cons I feel that the interface could be slightly more intuitive. I'm fairly computer savvy, but some of the flow to update to our website seems awkward. Review Source KL Kristina L.

I also like being able to review the page prior to publishing. Cons I do not have any issues with the software. I believe that it is easy to use and helpful for us to access our website. Review Source TB Tiffany B. Online Instructor E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Canvas: A really great tool for online teaching!" February 12, 2021 5.0 Canvas is a great way to connect virtually especially nowadays where that seems to be the norm. It's functionality to interact between students and instructors as well as it's helpful design makes it really great. Pros Canvas is very user friendly. I have students that are your typical college age students and also non-traditional students that are not as computer literate. Canvas is very intuitive and also there are a ton of online resources hosted through Canvas when you need support. They are very simple to follow and helpful. I also really love as an instructor the functionality for students to peer review in Canvas. In an online course it can be difficult to get students involved but this is a fun way to involve students and it works very well. It can all be done automatically so once it's set up it's easy. Cons I wish there was an option to upload student work for them. I like using Canvas to keep track of everything but sometimes students will have a difficult time accessing their Canvas and so they will email me their assignment. I wish I could then upload it to Canvas for them so it's all in one place. Review Source KL Karen L. Student Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Well Organized for student use" June 19, 2019 5.0 Pros Canvas has the most useful feature for students because the app shows the most recent courses, to-do assignment lists, notification of assignment due date and inbox tab which allows the student to send email to both instructor and classmates. Cons Although Canvas has all the well organized feature, the app would not automatically show the current quarter/ semester courses when the courses were registered. The app would only show the most recent courses if the courses had been selected. It's a bit inconvenient because students would need to make this change at the beginning of each quarter/ semester. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Adjunct Faculty Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Canvas Use at Small Private College" May 28, 2019 5.0 Pros Canvas has a variety of features which aid in teaching, grading, and attendance. The ability to create test questions is very intuitive, not to mention it will grade objective questions for you! This saved me hours of grading on tests. For papers you can restrict the file types that are submitted which reduces the headache of trying to open various file types which may not be compatible with your word processor. Cons There is a bit of a learning curve for some of the more advanced features, but that is to be expected for any software. For grading papers, I wish that the program worked more like the review function for MS Word. It is not as intuitive and in my experience did not allow for as much editing as I would have liked.

I like the way you can see your current grade easily. I don't like the challenge of using rubrics on Canvas and don't like once you turn in an assignment you cannot see the previous versions of the assignment you've turned in. I like using canvas but I think some parts of it can be improved. Pros I like the comments feature on some assignments. I like the way you can see your current grade easily. Cons I don't like the challenge of using rubrics on Canvas and don't like once you turn in an assignment you cannot see the previous versions of the assignment you've turned in. Review Source MK MIRANDA K. Student E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Dashboard and App" September 11, 2019 5.0 Overall, I think that canvas performs exceptionally well As an e-learning sweet. I have had many courses where all of the materials are loaded and organized into canvas, and cross-referenced across the course. It is simple, effective, and user-friendly. Pros I am a full time online student and work a full-time job, and I could not have asked for a better eLearning suite. My professors use the discussion board and calendar tools to help make modules interactive and ensure deadlines are met. As a busy multitasking remote learner, I credit Canvas and its ease of use and student-friendly features with making my transition back to school seamless and stress-free. Cons Overall, 10 best is easy to use and the app itself is wonderful. I have been able to submit assignments and study in line at concerts, waiting for my kids, Orwell shopping. However, the platform is not really great off of Wi-Fi, so the app cannot reliably be used for time-sensitive or secure tasks like quizzes. For those, you really have to be in front of the computer. Review Source AG Alyson G. Student Law Enforcement Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Canvas is very helpful to students " April 19, 2019 5.0 Pros I have used canvas through my school for a long time. It is very easily accessible and also has many widgets for the screen on androids. I personally use the to-do widget because it is a really easy way to see what is coming up to do. I do not have to open the app just to see what is due. Cons There is nothing I can think of that I dislike. Review Source KW Karmon W. Artisian Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "One of the best Learning & reporting software available " December 31, 2019 5.0 This is one of 3 different learning software my children's teachers have used thru the years and by far my favorite for reliability within app. Pros Canvas has been used by many of my children's teachers and this prompted myself creating and using canvas. So many integrated features to use for their teachers and a one stop look at how my children are doing. Easily maneuverable and easy to view. Love alerts that pop up on my phone to keep me in loop on my child's progress or child's struggles so you can stay on top of their educational needs. Online learning options ,video and content also available. This Collaborative workspace is a must have for any student, teacher or parent. Cons On occasion there is down time where functionality is unavailable but this has only happened on like 2 occasions. I would say 99% of the time it functions as it should.
