Canvas レビュー 42

Terrible, unintuitive, complicated, a smorgasbord of drop downs, and links to more links to more links, dozens of sections to get to a simple lesson, bad gateway errors... Lazy teachers love it students hate it.

K12 started using Canvas this yr 25-26. This will be the death of this online learning community. Absolutely the worst online learning environment especially for a kindergarten. The platform we used for 4 years was so simple and easy to find everything, now it's just a mess. Too many ad click ons, of course the 3rd grader hit the to learn more button, redirected out of canvas. Due to canvas we are leaving k12 as soon as their applications are accepted at either of the other schools we applied to. This may work for 7th and on but not for k-5. Whomever chose this program must have money tied into it.

We are on day three of DAOF school using Canvas, and none of my four students have been able to access any live classes, complete a single assignment, and we have spent hours on hold with tech support. It is difficult to navigate, confusing to find work that needs completion, and we get error messages and “This page is temporarily unavailable.”

Feedback on Update and Improvement for the Android Mobile App

It is absolutely vital for users—especially those who create content—to have a smooth and efficient experience. Currently, the Android mobile app feels quite basic and not very user-friendly. Issues like fonts not working properly, templates failing, and having to repeatedly follow the same instructions cause frustration. This disrupts the creative flow and wastes valuable time.

In today’s fast-paced environment, where AI is rapidly improving, having a clunky or primitive app experience makes it hard to keep up and stay productive. This not only causes users to get stuck in their workflow but also discourages them from continuing to invest in or upgrade the product.

Speaking from personal experience, I have lost entire days trying to create just a few simple contacts, despite working on computers my whole life and having it as my profession. This is not where I want to spend my time, and it needs urgent improvement.

Absolutely horrible. The "help" desk refuses to help unless the teacher files an IT ticket due to confidentiality restrictions. The teachers don't have time to submit IT requests so the issues remain problems for years on end -- toggling between different students randomly without the user prompting to change students, loading classes from the prior year only in the drop down, reverting to the prior semester while trying to review the current semester, and disappearing 'grade' in the menu options. These have been issues for 3 years now!!!

There should be negative stars, really, for this kind of dysfunctional product. I have spent more time chatting with equally dysfunctional and useless support than actually getting things done on the platform. I had zero issues with Brightspace and would take it over Canvas any day if given a choice.

why Why WHY would they not put the undo button on the task bar for the text box entry???? I have lost HOURS of work because I've tried to copy/paste what I have written, accidentally deleted it, and do not know where the undo button is. AT ALL. So I leave the page or refresh it to check if I can revert to a previous version. Of course, because of my stupidity, its gone. GONE. WHY IS THE UNDO BUTTON HIDDEN??? WHY DOES CTRL Z NOT WORK??? I wanted to recommend that they make the undo button easier to find/see on their website, but I can't submit an IDEA without logging in and "ranking up". I have been using Canvas for ~5 years now. I wasn't going to rant on there like I am here. They have moderators and probably wouldn't let it through anyways. So why do I need to WAIT 3 DAYS TO SUGGEST AN IDEA??? I don't get it. I can't review them or ask for tech help anywhere else but here, because my institution doesn't have those buttons in their help tab. I don't hate Canvas. Everything else is good or usable. But hiding something as important as an undo button on text entry assignments is beyond me. Please, if anyone sees this, fix it. I don't want to rewrite completed assignments anymore. please.

This website is boring and doesn't help to make school interesting.

Can't get enrolled on courses - going in circles..

I don't understand why City and Guilds have engaged with a company with such a low rating, and hasn't acknowledged reviews.

Remember, reviews start at 1-Star, so <2.5 is really, Really, REALLY BAD.

It's not to bad I like it its very in order. Sometimes it confuses me and I can't find the right place to go. Otherwise not bad, but I prefer Google Classroom better.

How can you run such a poorly managed website/ app and have the audacity to have schools use it. This website makes my life a nightmare for otherwise easy classes on a daily basis, every review I see of the Canvas Instructure company is awful and has been awful since the apps inception, yet there has been no significant change. I hate you. I hate all of you so incredibley much you make my life harder everyday. Why would you have students enter their student ID number to recover their password instead of ... their student email?? Where does the reset email even go to when I input my ID number. Just the basic level of common sense needed to live day-to-day and not forget to breath is absent from your software design. I hate you people so much. The fact this company is still standing is a scathing review of the American for-profit education system, and from the bottom of my heart I hope Instructure is aware that the continual existence of this company makes this country a worse every single day.

I can't believe I have to deal with this app for one full university year, this app is terrible and I already know it will give me headache durings assignments time

Oh, my gosh, what an incredibly frustrating customer experience. I am a teacher in a large public high school with extensive corporate and then (after a career switch) teaching experience.

Canvas may be the single most passive-aggressive piece of software I have ever used. Basic functionality just doesn't work. Updates are focused on non-priorities while essential problems sail on unfixed. New features (like the infamous "New Quizzes" are not only not wanted but, as originally planned, were going to blow up countless teachers existing quizzes!!) make functionality worse.

I am presently chatting w/ Canvas support for probably the fortieth time. My current issue is a grading issue: they have taken away the ability to swipe to new students asking probably an extra minute to every student. For me with 150 students that means an extra 2.5 hours to grade.

The kicker? I go to the product discussion forum and am asked to fill out a survey. They ask for some final thoughts. I type out a lengthy response only to be told (after the fact) that the character max is 500.

Ho ho ho!! The jokes on the customer! The passive aggressive software company wins again!! Go with Blackbaud or, honestly, anybody but these customer-hating jerks.

It gets the job done but is surprisingly slow. The email system is very alloying to use as there are no drafts, so if you mis click you lose the whole email. At least it helps to finish your work on time.

Edit: I just realized why it's so slow. It you press the book icon on the left tool bar it opens the courses menu. If you press the very top ling named 'All Courses' It shows you ALL of the classes you ever took and you can access all of the assignments you EVER HAD! No wonder its so slow, there are HUNDREDS of links to items you didn't even know about and will never use taking up space!!! If yall get rid of this feature it would probably fix a lot of the lag and make the whole platform faster.

This platform is supposed to make taking your courses online easier, but I found that keeping what is due on a weekly basis more than confusing. Instead of it showing exactly what to do and where to go, you really have to search through the criteria every week to make sure you did everything. Also I was supposed to be able to get a bonus credit for answer a daily question to show participation and it is very difficult to find it.

Ook via vakantieveiling een voucher gewonnen en ook nog eens 87euro extra betaals dan verwacht ik echt wat kwaliteit, helaas niet en ook gewoon opgestuurd in een karton doos.ik was hier al bang voor toen ik de recensies ging lezen.had ik nu maar wat anders gekozen,zeer ontevreden.

Go away with your misleading adds.
You are harassing me with your adds despite me not being a student. How you got hold on my e-mail address is beyond me but you have no right to send messages daily. Go away.

Canvas is a Security Nightmare. New to my University, the program was rolled out without piloting with students and staff. Too many glitches to mention, but biggest is security. The program is interrupted by Norton Anti-Virus... not because Norton is bad, but because of the scripts being used in the open source platform. Students have had to dump their security software in favor of one that doesn't catch Canvas' problems.

If the student logs in to the app, but doesn't log out - the app stays open and logged in (even when shut down).

If the student LOGS OUT of the app, and closes the window, the next time they access the program - it is ALREADY LOGGED IN.

This is supposed to be the largest / most successful LMS in the world??? Anyone see a cybersecurity target?

For the past four years, my campus had everyone in the 9th-12th grade complete our college assignments in our early college classes. Although it had a few bad things about it, I still liked the platform. Here is my above average experience.
I like how you have three different page views. They are the calendar, the little squares, and stack view, which I prefer the most. You can easily send an email to another student or your professor. I also enjoyed the little icons for each class on the page. No two students have the different color for their class, which I found interesting.
I don't like it how when you try to access a certain page on a college class you completed, you won't be allowed to view any pages of that course again. The classes disappear without your permission, as if they think you're being nosy. I also don't like how we have many awful professors in our district, but that's the district's fault, not the fault of Canvas.
To summarize this, I enjoyed using the easy, simple tool of Canvas. If you have a school district that mainly supports online college work, you might want to give this a try.

CANVAS is difficult to configure, slow to update, not user-friendly, and, in my opinion, benefits do not surpass other systems like MOODLE.
