Canvas LMS

Lecturer

Canvas LMS is a highly effective tool in managing and delivering higher education; however, it is not a perfect system. Although it helps in course management and increases learners engagement, its grading seems rigid to some degree; it is difficult to implement the complex assessment frameworks.

In my experience using Canvas LMS, I have only experienced disappointment, especially when it comes to meeting the more enhanced expectations of workforce development. This is not suitable for many organizations due to inadequate or lack of certain features which are unique in their functions.

PROFESOR

Canvas LMS provides dependable tools for creating courses but its grading problems create a bad user experience. Continuing education programs demand immediate feedback, which means Canvas needs to resolve its grading problems to stay effective.
