Canvas: Easy to Use Education LMS
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Canvas from other similar products?
I find Canvas to be fairly adaptable and beneficial for managing huge quantities of linked or layered material, especially when working with big groups of students. As it is set up at my university, all course components (e.g., syllabus, grades, Zoom information, etc.) may be found in a single menu for easy access. Through the usage of Canvas, we enable our Registered Training Agencies to offer accredited and non-accredited training options, including everything from brief, self-paced courses to Advanced Diploma degrees delivered in a mixed manner Using the system in a creative way is another way we are expressing ourselves.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The program combines nicely with other applications used in the classroom, such as Panopto or Zoom. In general, the course's essential elements assignments and grades operate well. Users will find Canvas to be easy to work with, as well as quick and comprehensive. These include quizzes, assignments, graded assignments, grade book sync, email, and messaging capabilities, online discussion capabilities, and Google and Turnitin submission capabilities. It is a one-stop-shop for all your needs. It's nice to have a multi-level screen as the default setting. The classroom and the mainstream news might be linked in many ways.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Things that I took for granted in other systems are still lacking from Canvas, which I've only recently realized. Faculty should be listened to, and some of these concerns should be prioritized for growth. In Canvas, numerous applications are accessible for integration, including Box and Dropbox, however, it's impossible to determine if each add-on is free or requires a purchase/fee without checking each one individually. Apps are not directly linked to Canvas and must be accessed independently.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
To work with Canvas, it's best to start with the desktop version, which has more options for adapting to web browsers. You can then use media queries to modify the platform's design for usage on various devices with varying screen sizes. However, I'm aware that there are other programs like Blackboard that I haven't yet explored. I really enjoyed using Canvas and I highly recommend using it for your education business.
