I use it as a student. I love the some space where I can see all my one classes in one place, with all important information posted in the forefront making it so easy to navigate. I really enjoy how functional the sidebar is as well, allowing me to see all my massages, documents, etc... in one single place that is easy to view everything all at once. > > **Cons**: I had no major issues with Canvas. There was the occasional experience where things would buffer longer than a average, but that only occurred during live events when there were many people logging into the same server > > Its been great\! It's an amazing software for students and professionals. It makes things incredibly easy and does so much of the organization work for you. Its so easy to keep on track with things when your working with Canvas ----- ### "Canvas: convenience, organization, information." — 5.0/5 > **jeet** | *October 9, 2024* | Higher Education Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The interface is easy to use, and very visually appealing. I enjoy the way the app is structured as it makes information easy to access. I use it to manage my university courses, and so far I find that it updates quickly, does not tend to stall, and allows me to retrieve whatever I need with great ease. > > **Cons**: I do sometimes dislike the fact that some features from my desktop do not transfer to the mobile app. I wish canvas had a desktop version because I would be using it all the time. > > It is a great convenience in my life\! easy to use, whilst also making all my information accessible within a few taps. I use it every day and it has made my life immeasurably easier. Would recommend canvas to anyone any day. ----- ### "canvas review" — 5.0/5 > **Tara** | *November 9, 2024* | Alternative Medicine | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how easy it is to navigate through the website. How my grades are displayed and how I can see what assignment are due > > **Cons**: I wish it would show the assignment due much later than my most recent ones. And using it on the computer is more difficult then the ipad ----- ### "Great for school work\!" — 5.0/5 > **Mackenzie** | *December 2, 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to use and very organized, great for school\! > > **Cons**: Sometimes it takes a little while to update information. > > My experience was very good, and I use it daily\! ----- ### "Canvas, an advanced learning and communication tool" — 5.0/5 > **ESTHER** | *August 21, 2024* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The built-in communication features in Canvas like the announcements, discussion boards, and messaging was very helpful and made it easy for to collaborate with other team members during our group discussions and project work during my MBA. I would recommend it for tutors as well for interaction and staying updated with progress on assigned tasks. The dashboards were also very intuitive and user friendly. > > **Cons**: A significant obstacle I faced while creating my project proposal with Canvas was that the mobile app version lacked some features. I had to depend more on the desktop version as a result. I encountered other issues as well, such as slower load times, which are common with online Apps. > > Overall, Canvas has as an easy-to-use interface. Which facilitates simple and effective management and participation in online learning for both teachers and students.  In my case I used it as a post-graduate student, majorly for my MBA projects. ----- Page: 1 / 174\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/127214/canvas?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/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
