You can do everything from quizzes to links to full lesson plans on Canvas, and there are a ton of add-ons to make lessons more engaging and easy to use. > > **Cons**: I seriously have nothing bad to say about Canvas. It integrates with seemingly everything and I use it for everything from classes to clubs. > > I’ve been using Canvas for about 5 years, both as a teacher and as an Executive Director of a non-profit. Even though it’s obviously specifically for schools, it really has great features you can use for all kinds of projects. ----- ### "Canvas is a great platform for students and educators alike" — 5.0/5 > **Jan Eli Nicoli** | *29 May 2025* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Canvas has always been my go to platform by my university. Due to the pandemic they had to invest into a learning platform that would better supplement our learning needs online. After the pandemic, our university still continuously uses canvas and man was I glad they chose this platform. I can easily see my grades, my performance and how I can better improve my academic performance. > > **Cons**: The UI I think needs a bit of a revamp to make it look more modern and minimalist. Although I think the university that I study in does most of the interface design. > > Great\! Summarizes all the things I need to submit, plus I get notifications while on the go if I do miss something. ----- ### "Cool Canvas" — 5.0/5 > **Reagan** | *9 April 2026* | Medical Practice | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: it is super easy to navigate and manage your student courses, it is easy to do team collaborations and there are never any bugs or issues that I have experienced. It has great customer support and good value for your money. It is super easy to manage courses and figure out what you need. > > **Cons**: Honestly there was nothing I could say that I disliked about Canvas\! It is just awesome and so simple, and if you get confused easily, you can always ask for help\! > > Overall, my experiences using Canvas have been great, I use it for my online classes and my half and half classes that are dual credit through SEMO. Canvas is one of the best things to use for courses in my opinion. ----- ### "Canvas should be \#1" — 5.0/5 > **Dale** | *7 April 2025* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is up to date, makes it easy for the end user to access necessary tool bars, and has the ability to "play nicely" with other add-ons. It's a great LMS. > > **Cons**: Sometimes the tools are not enough. For instance, there aren't enough fonts to add a personal touch to the messages. Also, formatting is not real easy. If you know coding, you can create your own format, but what is basic to Canvas is a little elementary. > > I LOVE Canvas. This is one of, if not THE best LMS available. I would and do highly recommend it. I've been on several different ones, but Canvas surpasses most in nearly every category. ----- Page: 1 / 174\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/91646/canvas-lms?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/91646/canvas-lms) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
