Overall Satisfaction with Canvas
At Northwest, Nazarene Canvas is used as our learning management system. I use this at NNU as a student. I previously used Canvas from the admin side, where I was putting in classes and helping teachers create content. Canvas allows teachers to publish their courses online in a user-friendly platform. Students can then engage with the course material and each other throughout the class. Canvas also allows students to submit homework online and for teachers to publish grades so that students can see it.
- Ease of student use
- Completed assignment tracking
- Journal function
- High cost
- Frees up teacher time
Canvas is a pricey option, at least when compared to something open source like Moodle. Personally, I don't feel that Canvas has the same ability to customize as Moodle. However, the customer support from Canvas makes it stand out. With an open-source platform, it might be free, but no one is there to help when a problem occurs. Since not all the staff in a school will be super technically able, it is great to have the support that is always there to help them better use this tool.
