What differentiates Canvas from other similar products?
It's much more user-friendly than ClassIn, which I also use for my work for another employer.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I very much like how it allows the user to import existing content. I routinely teach the same class, term after term, and being able to import information from previous terms saves me a great deal of time and effort.
What do you dislike most about this product?
I find customer support for technical issues slow and rather unhelpful. I usually have to go to the internet and various educator forums to get quick, actionable responses.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Not really suitable for one-on-one teaching--much better for classes offered through formal organizations, e.g. schools, universities, etc. For a private tutor, Canvas would be a bit of overkill.
Pros
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
- Trustworthy
Cons
- Less Efficient Service
- Less Effective Service
- Wastes Time
