Canvas works well as a powerful LMS that supports your organizations learning needs. In the short time I've been using Canvas, they continue to upgrade the features over and over. Instructure support staff are responsive and helpful to problem solve and work toward solutions that work for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I came from another organization using another LMS. At first, I wasn't sure Canvas supported the learning paths needed for more professional development as opposed to educational learning paths. They are working toward solutions that may fix this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very user-friendly, easy to use for new users. Has great features that allow for teachers to create their own well-designed courses Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some things like how students can find instructor feedback are not intuitive. Indented numbered lists (1, 1a, 1b, etc) are not possible in pages, which leads to a confusing layout for sighted users and makes instructors not want to create accessible lists and instead type out their own, leading to a less accessible course. The inbox doesn't have a rich text editor that allows for bulleted or numbered lists or adding descriptive hyperlinks, again making for a less accessible experience. It would be great to have the ability to adjust the contrast of an image inside of Canvas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the user interface is the best thing about Canvas LMS. It is easy to move around in and find information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Canvas LMS could use some more individual customization to each business. There are specific features we could use as a real estate school that are different from other schools. Like the ability to edit and view user defined fields from catalog inside of canvas LMS on a student profile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that the RCE feels like a one stop shop. There are so many useful features that make it easy for me to get what I need done quickly. I love its simplicity and the native accessibility checker. It quickly catches what I need to fix and guides me on how to improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would really love if the default font size was 14pt for accessibility and if some of these customizable styling could be defaulted for a course so they would be automatically applied for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Canvas allows us to not only provide high-quality engaging instruction everyday to our students, but it also allows us to provide consistent messaging and information to our parents and staff all in one place. One stop for all our district's needs with high quality customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't much not to like. High quality, innovative platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how user-friendly it is. I came in to my role with zero Canvas experience and through the online training sessions and playing around with it, it was quite intuitive to figure out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some naming conventions that are a bit difficult to figure out what exactly they do. For example, in New Quizzes, there is a stimulus option. It is not very clear what that option is and a lot of our instructors will ignore it because it isn't very self explanatory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Able to be more creative with design layout, imagery, and control of how I want my users to experience the shell I create Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

admin side, I would prefer some of the SIS imports I need to create via csv files to be more built in so I can do things in system rather than save templates on my computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that almost everything integrates with Canvas and Speedgrader is pretty awesome. I like that you can do WYSIWYG but you can also use HTML. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there were a few more native design tools, like drag and drop WYSIWYG. I would like there to be more features that are included and not add-ons that you have to pay for. I would like students to see their data, like how much time they spent on assignments. I still don't like Canvas New Quizzes. It's awkward to grade. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love Canvas LMS because my middle school students can't lose their physical notes, assignments, etc and not have a route to get a second copy-- online through Canvas! It teaches them some great executive functioning skills through the integrated calendar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is little I dislike about the Canvas LMS. There may be a small learning curve for students if your institution doesn't streamline course look. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Canvas provides our audience with a professional development learning experience that reflects the way they would be learning in higher education. They can see themselves as successful learners, and perhaps be inspired to continue that learning journey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Canvas has a lot of tools, options, buttons, menus - it's overwhelming for a new learner, and there's minimal opportunities for admins to "clean up" that experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
