Canvas LMS Likes & Dislikes
Integration capability into Janzabar Easy admin administration for classes and students Easy user interface for both staff and students to understand
My students and I use Canvas to exchange messages and announcements that help us communicate. Student participation strengthened while campus activities remained available to all participants.
I like the Canvas LMS because its easy for both students and teachers to use. Everything is in one place classes, assignments and messages which makes it simple to stay organized. It works well on both computers and phones so students can keep up with their work from anywhere. I also like that it does not take long to learn how to use it which means we get fewer questions or problems to fix.
Limited scalability for large class sizes due to not being able to subgroup students Increasing paywall features Not able to export some data to APIs
Creating weighted grades and personal grading scales requires much more work than necessary. Working on my data manually to verify calculations wastes too much of my working hours.
Some features are not very flexible or easy to customize. For example, setting up certain types of assignments and adjusting the gradebook can be a bit confusing also some tools look different or work differently for teachers and students which can cause miscommunication.

Canvas LMS Streamlines Course Organization But Customization Remains Limited
My overall experience with Canvas LMS has been good. It provides a strong platform for organizing courses, sharing materials and keeping students on track. Most users find it easy to learn and use, which helps reduce support issues but there are a few areas that could be improved like more flexibility in certain features. It still does a great job supporting teaching and learning and it also helps us create a smoother more connected learning experience for everyone. - Associate Director of Special ProjectsGov't/PS/EdEducationReview Source

Balancing Act: Canvas LMS Facilitates Student Interaction Amid Grading Struggles
Canvas LMS provides helpful tools that help me interact better with my students. Even though Canvas LMS offers benefits, my experience fighting with grades makes me doubt its teaching effectiveness.
