What differentiates Canvas from other similar products?

Canvas seems different than other similar products because it's interface and structure are compatible for k-12 education, higher education and even state testing. It is usable in different sectors, which is nice because you don't need to learn a different system.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect of canvas is that I am able to manage different courses on the same platform without have to re-log in or out. I like the simplicity associated with the access to my courses, quizzes and data.

What do you dislike most about this product?

What I truly dislike about the product is that it is so glitchy when it comes to uploading videos. Not only does it take many minutes to upload one video, but it also sometimes will not accept your videos and will require you to record directly onto their platform, which can be tedious.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would recommend you take your time learning to navigate through the courses you are signed up for. Make sure you know how to take quizzes and assessments and make sure you are careful when submitting quizzes because there were many times when a test was submitted with just putting the arrow over the button. It is very sensitive when it comes to submitting assessments.

Pros

  • Trustworthy
  • Fair
  • Efficient Service
  • Effective Service

Cons

  • Less Performance Enhancing
  • Less Inspiring
  • Under Delivered
