Overall Satisfaction with Canvas

Canvas is an easy to use, user friendly Learning Management System (LMS) that lends itself to a variety of course types. While the vast majority of courses I design are online and hybrid, I have found countless opportunities to use Canvas as both course structure and resource, for face to face courses.
The Learning Management System comes with a variety of tools that promote online learning, collaboration and interaction. It is also very easy to design learning opportunities for different types of learners in Canvas. Just to name a few useful tools that Canvas offers: Speed Grader, Peer Reviews, Integrated Rubrics, Discussion Boards, Groups etc.

Pros

  • Speedgrader. The opportunity for Instructors to grade several assignments at a go!
  • Peer Review.
  • Groups: Instructors can create groups - mini integrated courses within courses.

Cons

  • It would be great to be able to "collect" discussion threads.
  • A major part that is missing is a "Blog" tool. Yes there are LTI's that can be integrated but that gets tricky.
  • Wonderful Customer service
  • Efficiency
  • Accessibility
Functionality, efficiency, accessibility, and a variety of tools that are well integrated in the system. Those tools include: Audio/Video, Community, Collaboration, Discussion Board, SpeedGrader, Peer Review, Outcomes, Rubrics etc
Canvas, in my opinion, is one of the best LMS's out there. Its functionality and accessibility alone makes it an excellent choice.
