CANVAS

Vorteile

There are so many great things about Canvas LMS. It's about fit of course, so I would never use it for corporate L&D... but as an academic LMS, it ranks at the top. I love the community forums (you can find help for literally anything), and the numerous tools that are 1) either provided by Canvas, or, 2) integrate nicely with Canvas.

I also like the ease of use. It might seem overwhelming at first, but learning to build and administer courses on Canvas becomes easier by the day. So at first it may seem tough, but stick with it! It gets much easier - quickly!

Nachteile

In order to upgrade the look and feel of it, without hiring a team of graphic designers, you need to use design service that integrates with Canvas.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu CANVAS

Vorteile

With the rise of Coronavirus and online options for college classes, Canvas has been a staple tool for students taking online classes and even with online assignments. Canvas, similar to Google Classroom, is a program that allows teachers to assign work through the web instead of wasting time printing and wasting paper. It allows students to be notified of when assignments are due and even allows them to take quizzes and test online. With most of the world being forced to do everything digitally Canvas allows access to Zoom through ConferNow which allows for teachers to schedule lectures and meetings. Canvas also allows you to message other students if needed. Without Canvas, school online would be incredibly difficult, and although Google Classroom is a solid option for courses in elementary school through high school, Canvas has more features such as users being able to directly embed LTIs such as Flipgrid.

Nachteile

Although Canvas is better than Google Classroom in terms of the number of features, Google Classroom's interface is simpler and easier to understand than Canvas's. Google Classroom, being a Google program, also makes it slightly easier to turn in assignments using Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, etc. Canvas's user system can also use some work as well. Canvas may have the ability to allow you to see other students but it's obscure. There's no way to search for other people unless they're in your class and most people don't even know of the profile feature. Personally, I don't believe there are many problems with Canvas except that they should redo its design because to me it seems a bit bland and that they should make its interface a bit more simpler since it can be confusing to navigate through.

Vorteile

What I like the most about this software is the features because it's very useful in online learning it's also very easy to use and it develops very well.

Nachteile

There are some minor issues but it's definitely easy to counter and I think it's not a problem at all because this software is really good.

Vorteile

I had used this software form 2019 to 2021 and most of my uni assesment and project had to be downloaded and uploaded to this software for the porrfessors to review and correct

Nachteile

This software need a soild concetion to the internet so if a building wifi is starting to fail this is one of the software that can not work at a cirtical time

Vorteile

I like canvas because it is easy to use. anybody could use canvas without any help. It also lets you check your grades/progress with ease.

Nachteile

I do not like the fact that in canvas it is hard to get ahold of your teacher/professor and it takes a day for the message to reach them. also grades take a couple of days to update.
