My school uses Canvas, and I must say, it is extremely poorly designed. Some pages don't theme correctly, others just don't work altogether. If you only have access to an iPad at home to do homework (like my brother) you sometimes simply can't. On the Canvas app, most images don't load and make navigating hard, especially if your teacher uses images as buttons. Then, if you would move to the website, touch controls just wouldn't work, stopping you from being able to do most activities. In the end, just use something simple like Seesaw or Class Dojo. Both bad, but at least better than this shitty platform.

I’ve been taking expensive private French lessons through this platform, and while I enjoy the teaching, the platform itself has made me consider leaving the course. For exercises, it’s not uncommon to lose points if your answer isn’t written exactly as the platform expects, down to the punctuation. This takes the joy out of learning a new language. The platform is difficult to navigate, feels outdated, and honestly, I really detest using it.

I can't believe in the age when people discuss User Experience and User Interfaces, hundreds of thousands of students go through this unreliable and poorly researched interface. What a waste! Please do not be surprised with poor students' performance, unless your goal is train people to jump through hoops and loops.

literally horrible software that logs me out every other day its so annoying holy

Have been using Canvas for educational purposes for the last 2 years. It is a decent platform, but I believe it can be made much more organized. Or if there could be a feature that would allow you to customize how your dashboard looks like, how each course and its contents appear on the page, etc. The syncing calendar with Google/Outlook Calendar is a pretty cool, life saving feature!

Like using canvas but it has issues. The website version has more features than the app for some reason. Otherwise I love how you can turn in assignments through the share menu on iPadOS. For what it is, it works about as well as it could.

A very bad platform that marks things incorrect even when you get them correct. Also does not allow you to watch videos that are central to the lessons.

False advertising, claims can do background remover for videos, it cant, only images
