“Student Course Management is one of the most useful parts of Canvas because it helps me keep track of assignments, deadlines, grades, and course materials across my classes.”

Cons

“The assignment deadlines notifications are so delayed, most of the time the notification doesnt even come through the app bit through emails. And the Emails arrive after the deadline passes which causes a big issue of missing the deadline.”

“Also, when I try to add a file and submit it, a lot of time it takes to many clicks to confirm it , I have already missed some deadlines because I forgot 1 of 5 confirms.”

“It took some time to figure out how to set it up on a free hosting platform as an administrator; I had issues with needing more server access than I had for free.”

Sarah C.

Independent Contractor and Edtech Expert

Cons

“The main Bugs and Issues I have experienced are occasional pages not loading correctly, minor interface issues, or notifications becoming overwhelming when I have several courses active at the same time.”

Nikitha Y.

Graduate Student

“No customizability, the modules do not save your place or mark when you've already reviewed information, cannot remove old/unused classes, no customer support, highly complicated for professors.”
JB

Julia B.

“Sometimes it can be difficult to find certain assignments or course materials depending on how the instructor organizes the class.”
