It was easy to maneuver through different pages . liked that it has immersive reader function, could be in a different colour background > > **Cons**: the lack of interactive learning experiences that was able to be created. lack of creative ability to make the experience more visual. didnt cater for all learning styles. When learners forgot their passwords the forgotten password link didn't work. issues with learners finding the right page to log in to. > > initially, really happy easy to follow and clear layout, however when wanting to extend the options for the learning of the students I found it limited. also became hard when students were unable to get in ----- ### "Good Basic System" — 4.0/5 > **Mel** | *24 November 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: CANVAS is an easy to use interface. I have used this for both content creation and management of student, and also as a student myself. The building features for activities were good, had many options for activities. > > **Cons**: Our learners often would not be able to log in due to missing passwords etc. The Forgot my password button never sent the email to change their password, and there was no other option for them to be able to log in with magic link or any other alternative. This was hard with our level of student where this issue came up daily. > > It has been good for my first experience with a learning management system. It had everything we needed in a basic sense. Although, we have since moved over to Cloud assess, and the support, and features certainly outweigh CANVAS. ----- ### "Good product but really only suited to large organisations" — 3.0/5 > **Salina** | *12 November 2024* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was easy to implement and loved the accessible features like text to speech > > **Cons**: The price was extreme for a small business like ours. There was no flexibility to work out alternative pricing for a smaller provider, therefore we would need to purchase for users far and above what we would use which did not provide value for money > > We bought through a 3rd party. The 3rd party had lots of support but not canvas themselves unless we arranged a meeting with them ----- ### "Canvas a good option for first time users" — 2.0/5 > **Jay** | *12 December 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has an inter grated reader which was great for students with learning disabilities > > **Cons**: There was no way for the tutor to see what the student had completed in terms of learning material > > It was an easy introduction to online learning material for myself as a tutor ----- ### "Canvas - a great, everything-included LMS" — 5.0/5 > **Lisa** | *20 August 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Canvas is an easy to manage LMS that has a course layout for students that is easy to navigate. Students can easily navigate between modules, see due dates and review assignments. Canvas syncs with our SIS, PowerSchool, with few bugs and customer support is easy to work with on issues. > > **Cons**: When setting up grade pass back to automatically sync canvas to our LMS there are many steps teachers need to take and i wish it were easier to push this out on a global level. > > Canvas was a lot of work to implement but we have had a wonderful experience with archiving old courses and implementing new ones. It was worth the effort to get up and running and users enjoy the experience. ----- Page: 1 / 174\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/127214/canvas?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/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
