CANVAS vs Arlo for Training Providers Comparison

- easy to design courses - powerful with many app add-ons - intuitive design

- complex backend - takes some training for less-experienced students to onboard

It was very easy to maneuver & it was my 1st time using it.

Not really any cons, I used it for an online training

1) Easy to use as a teacher. Once you get the schema of how the software works and accept its ways and limitations, then you can really use it to your advantage within that framework. 2) Integration with other softwares. Canvas integrates with many other LTI providers, but everyone is slightly different, so you need to be willing to pay the price to learn how to integrate things carefully. 3) Speedgrader is nice. I've seen better ones in other LMSs, but Canvas Spreedgrader is pretty good. 4) Training and support. You can find, if you search carefully, tons of training resources for Canvas.

1) It's easy to create things that clutter your course, system almost without knowing. 2) The assessment engine is quite limited. The new quiz engine is still too buggy to use and has been way overdue. 3) I hate that there is not an autosave feature, specially when building quizzes. More than once, I accidentally save the quiz without saving the individual question and loose a ton of work. 4) It's almost impossible to find your grades across multiple courses. You have to go to each course individually and click several places at that.

Very east to learn and onboard helped with a fast implementation process

some customization can be difficult on the platform.

I loved that the education system found a platform to use virtually.

I do not like how the training took for us to use it.

Easy to use for those of us with little or no training.

You need to look fir some if the features, they are not obvious.

Easy to learn, students and faculty adjust quickly. The UI/UX is the best in the business for LMS solutions.

Still takes a learning curve - training is better than anything else but could be improved. I think they assume the institutions are providing the training, which is rarely the case for adjunct faculty.

It's easy to load the material needed and helpful in monitoring completion on training modules, accountability and communications where needed.

The system seems to create duplicates of the training depending on the hardware used for uploading.

I used this product for computer related training for our employees it is one of my favorite software

There are multiple products are in market, and it can be more cheaper

Adding and using different features of the module is very much helpful to me as a teacher.

This is not a user-friendly for those who are using it for the first time especially taking a self-paced training.

The ability to add external tools that work seamlessly within Canvas as if they were a built in part of Canvas. This allows us to expand the ways we can provide content to students.

Some times adding an LTI integration with external service providers can be a little confusing if the provider does not have good documentation.

We have used Canvas as training education platform. it absolutely was integrated with the staff job training and education for the continued learning program. Canvas could be a nice platform to mix and combination all the training activities, info and courses. Canvas is employed across the native faculties within the space and have used it on variety of occasions for that furthermore.

They have some glitches nearly not possible for many organization to line up properly. An enormous disappointment for user.

One of the best training education platforms. It's the suitable program for helping students in communication.

Sometimes it doesn't works. there are glitchs and lags

My favorite thing about Canvas is how much content it allows me to provide new employees during the onboarding process. Canvas gives me complete control over the content, courses, what is allowed, the time limits and when each module can be accessed.

The price is a bit high for this software, but it's worth it if you want the best online training program for your employees.

- Streamlined system for learning and submitting assignments - Gradebook exports and syncs - Widely used in schools and institutions for educating and training

- There is a learning curve for sure - A lot of options (can also be a pro, but some users can feel lost very quickly)

- simple and friendly interface, entrance - support for mobile devices - support for Russian language - support for any kind of training materials (embedded code, html5, flash, multimedia)

No cons were added to this review

Canvas has made deploying online training modules so easy. Working for a company that is nationwide where most employees are virtual, it was necessary to have fully virtual training modules that were still interactive and responsive, Canvas gives us all that.

On the finding appointment/calendar tab, I wish it was easy to change the desired time zone.

I use this for my classes I take for learning at work. It’s not bad. Much better than blackboard that I used back in college. I like the functionality and the classroom discussions we can have. It makes an online class seem more like it’s something in person.

Parts of it can be a bit clunky and I wish there were better ways to filter through information. Especially in long comment threads with classmates.

Recently my school switched from blackboard to canvas. It was an easier transition than we thought. It is easier to communicate with others in a quick manner.

There is a training period but its brief.

Great software to automate team training.

A bit hard to get it working, but once its working its great.

I do like that Canvas allows the creator of training modules a lot of flexibility as far as what training presentations to create.

It could just be user error, but the software in my opinion restricts the number of formats allowed in its modules. Not a complaint, just an advisory.

You can set up different courses and easily add course material, quizzes, users, etc. It is easy to create and customize courses for specific uses.

We had a little trouble with provisioning because the user that setup the account is no longer here and we weren't able to transfer to a new user.

The fact that it is easy to use. Very simple, and the fact that I can access it from my mobile phone using the app. Ease of access, reliability, and time-saving are very important to me.

Thus far I haven't found a flaw with the software as it is really good. I hope I don't find a flaw.

I enjoyed building a canvas course for a career development training for incoming students. It was easy to craft and the design functionality was nice.

I had previously worked with Blackboard, so transitioning to Canvas was a bit challenging at the beginning.

Canvas is great! Not only do we use it for training, I use it outside of my company for school. It’s a very organized system.

There isn’t anything I dislike about canvas. I haven’t had any issues with the system. Customer support is always helpful.
