Overall Satisfaction with Canvas
Canvas is used by the majority of faculty at the University of Florida. It is a great way to keep in touch with students outside of the classroom as well as an effective method of posting grades. If you decide to use Canvas for your class you can be as involved with it as you choose to be. There are tools which allow you to have message boards/group chats, you can post assignments, rubrics, videos, etc. Being a university professor in today's day and age you must have some sort of online platform for your class. Canvas fulfills all your possible needs said platform and more.
I have seen other instructors post take-home exams on Canvas as well which gives you the option to have automatic grading (one less thing to worry about as an instructor) for exams.

- User-friendly. It is very straightforward to use.
- There are lots of functions at your disposal.
- The layout is aesthetically pleasing.
- There are really any technical issues.
- Providing walkthroughs on how to carry out certain tasks could be helpful.
- Allowing instructors to use the 'what if scenario' for grades to gauge students' outcomes.
- Making profile pictures bigger so they are easier to see.
- Gave our faculty a platform they all can use. Over 80% of classes taught at UF use Canvas.
