What do you like best about Canvas LMS?

In general, it's very user-friendly for both instructors and students. I have used it as both. I like how the assignments build the calendar for you and you don't have to include them in your syllabus. It's also gives assignment reminders to the student and grading reminders to the instructor which I find very helpful. You can also move assignments around on the calendar and it adjusts the due dates for you!

They have published a terrific user guide online that answers almost any question you might have and so I have never had to use customer support. I also like how many external applications are compatible, like Zoom, Edpuzzle, and Yellowdig. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canvas LMS?

The one thing I dislike as an instructor is that I cannot reassign something to a single student without giving everyone another attempt. This can be confusing for students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Canvas LMS?

What I like most about Canvas LMS is its interface, since during my studies, I used it and was delighted, I could check my grades and talk to my teachers without any problems, I also value the ability of Canvas LMS to efficiently organize and manage my academic calendar, reminding me of important dates and deadlines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canvas LMS?

What I didn't like about Canvas LSM is that sometimes it had glitches and the software would crash, and the assignments I sent wouldn't appear. Additionally, some tools in the software were very complicated to use. I also think there should be a broader customization option for us users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Canvas LMS?

Canvas is a robust LMS that our students in Grades 6 through 12 use on a daily basis. The ability for Canvas to pass grades back to our Student Information System and use LTI plug-in to connect to other products, such as EdPuzzle and our curriculum online textbooks makes it an invaluable tool for our educators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canvas LMS?

Canvas is a little too sophisticated for our K-5 students and Educators. We piloted it in the past, and the students and teachers had a level of difficulty organizing and following their daily curriculum. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
