## Reviews

### "Canvas - a great, everything-included LMS" — 5.0/5

> **Lisa** | *20 August 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Canvas is an easy to manage LMS that has a course layout for students that is easy to navigate.  Students can easily navigate between modules, see due dates and review assignments.  Canvas syncs with our SIS, PowerSchool, with few bugs and customer support is easy to work with on issues.
> 
> **Cons**: When setting up grade pass back to automatically sync canvas to our LMS there are many steps teachers need to take and i wish it were easier to push this out on a global level.
> 
> Canvas was a lot of work to implement but we have had a wonderful experience with archiving old courses and implementing new ones.  It was worth the effort to get up and running and users enjoy the experience.

-----

### "Canvas is Amazing\!" — 5.0/5

> **Barrett** | *7 November 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The main aspect I enjoy about Canvas is the ease of understanding the system. It took me an average of thirty-minutes to understand the layout of the system. I enjoy that I can email my instructors from the software instead of opening another tab for the email website. Plus, each course has its own link so the classes are nicely organized.
> 
> **Cons**: I can't think of a single aspect that I don't like about Canvas. My institution used a different platform (forgot the name) but it is MUCH easier to navigate Canvas. The other platform that was used in the past, had too many updates which would lock people out of the system.
> 
> My overall experience with Canvas has been amazing\! I truly don't have any complaints for Canvas. The system automatically grades assignments (unless the instructor changes the settings for manual grading). All my messages to my instructors get sent and I never had an email be sent back through Canvas.

-----

### "Great for College Students" — 5.0/5

> **Soren** | *23 February 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Canvas works great on my laptop and phone\! I love the choice in designing my dashboard, it submission and schedule features are effective and keep me on track\!
> 
> **Cons**: Canvas could benefit from implementing a rewards-based system for younger students to keep them on the application.
> 
> Canvas is a staple in the classroom, designed carefully and continues to make valuable improvements.

-----

### "Centralized Platform For Tracking Everything" — 3.0/5

> **Philip** | *21 October 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like how the platform tries to centralize everything and keep it grouped by course. It is easy to look through grades, assignments, and students by class. There is also a messaging system internally, which can be useful.
> 
> **Cons**: This site can be clunky, especially for larger classes. There are times that I have to reload the page because it won't load. Also, it can be hard to create new assignments since you have to code everything precisely.
> 
> It has been smooth overall. It can be challenging to create assignments and groups but since it is all on one platform, that makes keeping track of everything easy enough.

-----

### "Great comprehensive platform for educators" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *11 January 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The clean and modern dashboard makes it very easy for both student and instructors, it allows instructors to also view a students point-of-view. The app is also very easy and has almost all the features. Canvas also allows to you to connect third-party tools like Zoom, Google Drive, and other LTI plugins. Built in functions like turn-it in and auto graders reduces time spent on cross checking or auto grading. It also has many extensions to help with customization.
> 
> **Cons**: I think the notification overload is a little annoying and it has to be configured correctly, you can receive both app notifications and email. Sometimes there are bugs and it states "Canvas is experiencing issues" and it's down so that can be annoying.
> 
> Overall its a great resource to connect students and educators. For the price point, features and automation it's very useful and easy to navigate amount all students. It robust features include direct messaging, integrations of countless platforms and course creation.
