"All In One LMS For EDU"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Canvas LMS?

I like the fact that Canvas is all inclusive and affords users/learning professionals the opportunity to build multiple learning paths for learners. They are also one of the few LMS available that offer internal badging through their own credentialing system, folder creation to organize content and levels, and mastery learning settings to make sure that learners prove they understand content before moving on to the next folder /content. This makes it one of the best and all around encompassing LMS platforms available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canvas LMS?

Not much honestly. Setup takes time as with anything. Organizing your content for learners and how they will interact with it takes some time and requires thoughtful planning. I do wish the internal badging system was a little cleaner and allowed users to create badges without the addition of tools like credly or badgr. That way you could upload your own images/gifs to make badges more engaging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4.5/5
What do you like best about Canvas LMS?

The Canvas learning management system is incredibly easy to use, with a great user interface to make navigating course material very quick and simple! I personally use the platform for accessing my PeopleCert educational resources. Having all materials in one location helps to keep track of progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canvas LMS?

As yet, there is no MacOS-compatible app for Canvas which restricts me to tablet and browser access. Hopefully, an app will be released shortly to address this! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Robust and User-Friendly LMS for Seamless Learning Management"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Canvas LMS?

I like that Canvas LMS offers a clean, intuitive interface that’s easy for both instructors and learners to navigate. The course organization tools, rich content editor, and built-in communication features make it simple to design engaging learning experiences. Its mobile app is well-optimized, ensuring students can access materials and participate from anywhere. Integration with third-party tools like Zoom, Google Drive, and plagiarism checkers adds even more flexibility, and the analytics give clear insight into learner progress and engagement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canvas LMS?

While Canvas LMS is powerful, some advanced features have a steeper learning curve for new instructors, and the speed of the interface can slow down when working with large courses or heavy media content. The reporting and analytics, while useful, could be more customizable for deeper insights. Additionally, certain integrations require extra setup steps or technical assistance, which may be challenging for non-technical users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
