Overall Satisfaction with Canvas
Canvas is used by the entire school I am taking classes at. It provides an online instruction module, attendance, grading and file distribution point for users. It seems to be closer to a "one stop shop" for online education than others that are currently available. I am familiar with Canvas, Google Classroom and Skyward.
- Provides internal communication, not requiring an outside message or email system.
- Includes a file sharing structure for instructional materials within the system.
- Provides a grading platform that is viewable by students and instructors alike.
- Getting used to the platform takes a little effort. Not quite plug and play.
- File names used to be truncated - but that is fixed now.
- As a user, I cannot really speak to this.
Canvas takes the better parts of both Skyward and Google Classroom and combines them to work pretty seamlessly - grading, assignments, attendance, document/file sharing - all integrated into one platform. In addition, the internal communication feature makes communication between student and instructor easy to track and follow. That is a great addition to the overall package.
