Overall Satisfaction with Canvas

I have had the opportunity to use canvas as both a student and a professor, providing unique insight to its features and nuances. This product helps to streamline the online learning experience and allow for easy structuring of course materials. It also serves as a platform to submit and complete assignments, communicate with other students, and access internal and external course links.
  • Course management
  • Efficient grading
  • Communication between students and faculty
  • Navigation
  • Building a new course
  • Adding narrated lectures and videos
  • Increased breadth and reach of educational programs
  • Increased student engagement
  • 60% more communication amongst students and faculty
Canvas is much more robust, has more features, and is more accessible. In canvas it can be specified to your specific organization and have its own domain which I do not think that Coursera can do. Coursera is good for sharing a single course or CEU but does not have the same abilities to manage an entire workload of classes and students.

Canvas is a great choice to integrate online learning, course management, and communication. I find ti very useful as a place to house our course materials and assignments for my in-person course, it is fairly easy to navigate. Fully virtual classes are more difficult to manage, sometimes to video elements do not upload and play as they should. When I add in a narrated video or Kaltura video they can be glitchy.
