Comments on Canvas in 2021
“Both institutions for whom I teach moved to Canvas last decade, and I continue to like this LMS over others I have used (Blackboard, Bb Ultra, Angel). Tying in to my next tool, Canvas is pretty customizable, and students like my consistent format. I use weekly modules and have module pages for Preparation, Interactions, and Assessments, a variation of a model I have used for years based on the P-I-E format at St. Leo.” Britt Watwood, Academic, Canada
“It is the main LMS for the university that I work for. I use it almost every day of the week as a platform to ensure that both lecturers and student can perform their teaching and learning. I still think there are so many possibilities that I have yet to discover with using this LMS.” Seri Salina Zakri, Instructional Designer, Malaysia
“Canvas is a management system that supports online learning and teaching. It allows me to post grades, information, and assignments online. Recently my students used to write a storybook and a school magazine.” Majlinda Qosja, K12 teacher, Albania
