Google ClassroomReasons for Choosing CANVAS
Canvas takes the better part of the Google Classroom and consolidates them to work pretty flawlessly - reviewing, tasks, participation, record/document sharing - all coordinated into one stage. Moreover, the interior correspondence include makes communication between the student and instructors simple to track and follow. That is an incredible expansion to the general bundle.Switched From

A Fairly Good LMS
Reviewed on 24/03/2022
Pros
Clean interface with easily manipulable features - module features can be easily dragged and dropped in a single step. Aesthetically better than Blackboard. Modules themselves are fairly easy to construct.
Cons
The gradebook is overly complicated and non-intuitive. Announcements should send automatic emails not only to students but to instructors.

As a staple in higher education, online and hybrid learning have played a central role in offering courses to a geographically dispersed demographic of students. Canvas provides this ability with a solid product and reliable up time to help us meet these goals.
Pros
A very powerful platform with a low threshold for adoption and ease of use. Our instructors rave about the intuitiveness of the course builder features and functionality. Since the pandemic, nearly all of the institution's thousands of courses have content online in Canvas - including the traditional in-person classes.
Cons
Integration with our student information system required some additional outside services to that students, courses, and grades could be synced in real time in order to give students immediate access once enrolled for the class.
Reasons for Choosing CANVAS
After Blackboard's acquisition of MoodleRooms, the support, service, and development declined while prices increased. After a complete RFP of the alternatives, Canvas became the clear leader in the learning management system space.Reasons for Switching to CANVAS
