Overall Satisfaction with Canvas
I am using it as a learning management system to teach four courses at Ball State University. All professors will be required to use Canvas starting in the fall semester, but I adopted it early to test and create my courses for the last two semesters. I am also taking a class where we are using it as our learning environment.
- User experience
- Organization and ability to create a course
- I love the modules function
- It's compatibility with Banner
- The speed grader could be improved
- Extra credit assignment feature would be nice
- It has increased discussions in online classes
- Sped up the grading process
- Helped with course creation
I have used Blackboard for years and Canvas blows it out of the water. I always felt like Blackboard was outdated and using Canvas has really sped up my teaching and course creation. What used to take me days, now just takes a few hours. There was a slight learning curve, but I am loving Canvas.
