Canvas is a robust LMS that our students in Grades 6 through 12 use on a daily basis. The ability for Canvas to pass grades back to our Student Information System and use LTI plug-in to connect to other products, such as EdPuzzle and our curriculum online textbooks makes it an invaluable tool for our educators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Canvas LMS? Canvas is a little too sophisticated for our K-5 students and Educators. We piloted it in the past, and the students and teachers had a level of difficulty organizing and following their daily curriculum. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Canvas LMS solving and how is that benefiting you? During the pandemic when our teachers needed a robust LMS to provide quality curricular courses that matched our state and district standards and rigor, Canvas was the perfect fit. Our courses are synced from our LMS to Canvas via a plugin for quick and easy rostering of courses. The ability to manually create courses and bulk upload students has been a feature embraced by our high school guidance department as they build out courses for each graduating class of students that the students participate in from grades 9 through 12. We use Canvas courses for Credit Recovery, clubs and other student supports. Our special education course managers at the secondary level utilize Canvas to monitor their caseloads. The canvas observer feature also allows parents/guardians to view their student's coursework and grades on a daily basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
