It has a wide variety of ways to present and engage with educational materials, and is easy to transfer courses from year to year or even instructor to instructor. > > **Cons**: Canvas is a bit of a heavy lift to get set up at first. Configuring the class modules and adapting for different educational needs (grad vs. undergrad; online vs. in-person) can be time consuming. > > Overall, I have enjoyed using Canvas\! I have interacted with the platform as instructor, TA, and student and each experience has been good. ----- ### "Canvas - The Versatility LMS" — 5.0/5 > **Anonymous User** | *17 November 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Canvas is an extremely versatile LMS because of its capabilities to host and create different files. What I like most about canvas is the ability to create pages that allowed you to link items from various resources. As long as that link stays stable, the user would be able to open and access that link. I also liked canvases capability to track several things about my users which include log in time, how long they were logged in, and if there were any required items to complete for assignments to complete, it would be able to track their progress and score which was essential for record keeping. > > **Cons**: The main thing that I liked least about canvas was the creation of pages because it did require knowledge of coding in order to make the page appear and look the way you wanted it to. Thankfully I do have experience with coding so I was able to set up the page to look and function as I wanted it to. However, for some of my colleagues, they did have a harder time with that because of their lack of knowledge of coding and they were unable to achieve the kind of look that they wanted to do. > > Overall, within the education field, canvas was a huge improvement from previous albums that I've used. Their versatility, the tracking, and the ability to organize your courses were simplified and very easy to do. It didn't feel clunky, it was very clean, and the user end had a positive experience and as a creator, I also shared that experience as well. ----- ### "User interface has space for improvement" — 3.0/5 > **Edwin** | *9 February 2026* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Used it for school, one stop shop, all calls content was there, power points, tests, quiz, exams, eventual grading > > **Cons**: User interface is quirly and hard to follow, seems to to be standardized, not sure if it was a problem by each Professor or simply the platform itself. Documents not always easy to find, uploading assignments was always an issue, had to submit emails to Professors as backups to ensure we'd be graded. > > I see most schools use tit, unfortunately it seems outdated and again biggest issue is it's poor user interface. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "A Reliable and Organized LMS for the Classroom" — 4.0/5 > **Tersen** | *19 February 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Canvas allows classroom content to be extremely organized. Assignments, announcements, quizzes, and grades can all be housed in one place, which helps streamline communication and keeps students on track. The ability to schedule content and structure courses into clear modules has made it much easier to manage pacing throughout the semester. > > **Cons**: I have ran into issues with quizzes transferring from one course to another, especially from one school year to another. It turned out our quizzes were somehow housed on a different server than everything else. This issue took almost 3 years to resolve. > > We use Canvas as our primary learning management system. It has been a very strong platform for both teachers and students. ----- Page: 1 / 174\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/127214/canvas?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/127214/canvas) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
