CANVAS vs Top Hat Comparison

The way it is easily usable. The ability to switch between 2 experiences.

Nothing that I can think of off the top of my head.

Canvas was the platform that was used for my Master's Program. It was easy to navigate and see assignments. Assignments could be complete directly in the platform without an external program. This made workflow easier. As a student, being able to see my grades and feedback on the platform was a great feature.

Searching for rubrics was difficult. The rubrics for current courses should be pinned to the top.

It shows you what assignments need to be done and the interface is easy to use.

it can be somewhat difficult to find past assignments and incomplete previous assignments are always on top.

This software was critically designed for navigating grades and assignments.

I didn't like how the home screen was always reloading from the top of the thumbnail.

The way I could have access to the app on my phone and on my computer. It made keeping up with school while on the go so simple.

I can't think of anything off the top of my head that I dont like about this software.

The ease of use for one that’s not on top with technology knowledge.

I have no dislikes of the software this far and recommend to my fellow entrepreneurs or not that have the urge to know more.

Being able to stay on top and track grades at my own time

No notifications about low or failing grades

I have used so many different sites for schooling over the years including blackboard and moodle but canvas is by far my favorite. It is so easy to use, everything makes sense it terms of the layout of the site/app. I like getting notifications but usually don’t because they can be overwhelming but not with canvas.

Sometimes the updates scramble things around a little bit but never enough to truly impact my use of the site.

I use Canvas as a college student, and it is very easy to use. It has an attractive UI, a robust notification system, and makes it easy to track what needs done, get to it and get it done.

I don’t think I’ve been able to find an quick reasons to dislike it off the top of my head!

I think the accessibility and organization of this software stand out making it top tier

I do not have many things I don’t like but the app does require often and lengthy updates

the ease of use is top notch, it consumes less data and makes life easy

there is no dark mode view for people wit eye defects

This product helped me stay on top of all of my assignments in college. Very simple to use.

I didn't like how glitchy it was. It was down for maintenance a lot, which made it hard to stay on top of things at that time.

It is really easy to use by students and has a variety of features that complete the learning experience, such as email, grades, assignments, announcements and integration for online meetings.

I've seen a number of instructors go over the top and overcomplicate the content for students, which creates frustration and potentially low customer loyalty.

I like most that CANVAS comes in the app form and allows me to use hyperlinks and tabs as if it were on. Web browser but with less headache.

I can’t tell you what I like least about CANVAS because I don’t really have any complaints! This is a TOP TIER operating system!

The graphical user interface is very nice and visually appealing, and the color-coded courses help distinguish them from the others. Timely updates on the engagement process are also helpful.

The top canvas app is puzzling and hard to navigate. The strange naming structure makes it difficult to understand what assignments are being made.

Organizes all my classes into one location. Makes it easy for me to track assignments and print notes for class. Also really like the calculate the grade feature.

Occasionally there will be times where the software goes down briefly. Has only happened a handful of times in 4 years.

A very easy and convenient way to track assignments for each class. It also allows direct communication to the teacher and all the students.

I wish there was a better calendar showing when each of the assignments are due. Better Android app would also be nice.

The app that comes with Canvas is helpful in tracking grades. It also allows students to stay on top of instructor announcements.

When a professor would insert comments on an assignment, I was unable to read those comments unless at a computer. I could see the submission, but comments were hidden. This made getting feedback a little more difficult.

Love the features and easy to use interface. Very organized with a clean look and modern feel.

Would like to see a folder or place to store all past achievements for easy retrieval.

So easy to use! Anyone with almost no computer skills will pick up this software asap. The templates and colors are top notch.

I had a little trouble with the background remover feature and it took me a while to learn.

it is a very convenient platform that streamlines your work as a student or teacher. You can download assignments and upload completed assignments in one place.

You only get out what you put into this program. If you or the professor doesn't upload assignments or task to canvas it doesn't really serve a purpose. So, in order for it to work you have to do a bit of work to upload the content.

I like that canvas displays all of my assignments along with their due dates. This helps with organization and keeps me on top of my assignments.

I dislike that canvas will randomly be "temporarily unavailable" so I don't​ have access to my assignments.

Canvas allowed for me to stay organized and on top of all my work throughout college. The features it provides students create a positive learning environment.

Sometimes when writing discussion posts and responses, it would delete my writing if I did not submit it right away.

The feature I enjoyed most was being able to see real time grade info and test different scores for upcoming tests and assignments, making calculating scores needed for "A's easy.

The thing I liked least about CANVAS was the difficult user experience when reading comments made by professors or other students on forums and assignments.

Everything on canvas is very intuitive to use. The most impartant things like assignement deadlines and announcements are in the forefront, which I like. When im looking for content, I always find it quickly which i didn't experience on other similair school platforms.

The implementation of google drive could be very useful. I'd also like a deeper system for receiving and giving feedback. File sharing could be easier zs well.

Ability to use phones can use my laptop in class

Interface is buggy my grades don't show up in blackboard and canvas. I have to complain to the professor every week to get my grades corrected. my friend dropped the class because of this program. students who don't show up to lecture are still answering quiz questions -- so what's the point? really expensive. why am I paying for software when the university already has a program that does this stuff?
