Canvas is the leading LMS in the market for a reason. While it's not perfect, they're constantly delivering new features and take customer feedback into account. Canvas is a very student-centric LMS, but also has a strong feature set for teachers and administrators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Canvas eventually will massage and tweak features based on customer feedback, often initial feature releases miss the mark. They have some work to do when it comes to consulting with actual end users before releasing a new feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how Canvas LMS keeps everything in one place, making it easy to track assignments, due dates, and grades without searching through emails. I also appreciate that it simplifies assignment submission by allowing me to submit work online. The grades and feedback tools are valuable because I can quickly check my performance and see comments from my teachers instead of waiting until the end of the term. Additionally, the initial setup of Canvas LMS was quite easy for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing that doesn't work as well is how different every class can feel on Canvas. Since each teacher sets up their course differently, it can get confusing trying to find assignments or materials when nothing is in the same place. I think the mobile app could be improved. It can be slow at times, and some features are easier to use on the website than on the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate Canvas LMS for its user-friendly interface and flexibility, which make teaching and learning smoother and more efficient. The clean design and intuitive navigation allow educators to set up courses, manage assignments, and communicate with students quickly, reducing the learning curve for both new and experienced users. I also find the robust accessibility and inclusivity features impressive. These include support for screen readers, alternative text for images, keyboard navigation, and adjustable text sizes, which helps students with diverse needs participate fully in online courses. Canvas adheres to international accessibility standards such as WCAG 2.1, ensuring that content is accessible to all users. Additionally, I find the seamless integration with third-party tools and software extremely useful. Canvas works well with Google Workspace, Microsoft Office 365, and popular educational tools like Turnitin and Gradescope. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find that Canvas LMS has a steep learning curve, especially for advanced features. It's overwhelming for new users and takes significant time to master. The interface is sometimes overly complex, with too many layers of menus and options, making navigation challenging. Additionally, there are occasional technical glitches like assignments being erased if the due date isn’t set at midnight and audio recording problems that hinder communication.

I like how Canvas LMS provides structured training, assignments, and quizzes, which is beneficial for our non-profit organization's training programs. Making trainings available asynchronously is a great feature. I appreciate the structure and ease of adding students to training, as it streamlines the process without jumping through hoops. Additionally, the ability to act as a user for troubleshooting enhances our efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that every student requires a license, even if they drop out mid-way. This ends up becoming very expensive. I also find it frustrating that Canvas Studio, which is supposed to be great, costs a lot extra. This means if we upload/embed any YouTube videos, they come with ads and we cannot see whether or not the videos were watched in their entirety. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Canvas is highly customizable, but that also means you have to put in a lot of work to make it feel truly personalized. Even so, it’s a great way to organize a digital classroom, and the tools within it are continually being improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Canvas isn’t very intuitive. I consider myself pretty tech-savvy, but it often feels like I have to re-teach myself different parts of the program each time I use it. Also, unless you add buttons or other extras to your homepage, the default modules don’t feel very personalized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Canvas is an amazing LMS. I have been using it for over 10 years now and I highly recommend it. It allows my students to do everything in one location. I can always add projects, files and grade assignments and transfer grades to Powerschool. Students have access to their assignments when they are absent from school and it is reachable on a computer, Chromebook, tablet or cellphone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Technical support is sometimes slower than desired. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is straightforward and generally accessible, making it easy to get started. Many third-party tools, like Anthology Ally, integrate smoothly within Canvas. The platform is simple to learn, and the layout remains uncluttered, which helps with navigation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the recently introduced tools, like the new quiz tool and the updated discussion tool, seem to be third-party integrations rather than native features of Canvas. I find the new quiz tool more difficult to review, and it also appears to have some accessibility concerns. Also lacks a native search features, you have to get an expensive third party tools that integrates in canvas to do that. Also should make language attributions easy for faculty to avoid fiddling in the html editor.

Also customer support non existent. I also wish AI could be integrated in discussions to act as a moderator or grader. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a nice study LMS software, where I can locate my all study modules, grades and can take exams on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface may be improved further, as some modules are difficult to find. Besides, it may include AI bot that makes students' research on the platform easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to combine with other platforms such as Cengage and Pearson. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not able to send an email to other users; it only allows messaging within Canvas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
