There was always the possibility of losing your work if you timed out or hit the wrong key, especially on a laptop.

I hate that there is not an autosave feature, specially when building quizzes. More than once, I accidentally save the quiz without saving the individual question and loose a ton of work.

Great to connect with lecturers and have a unified platform for all courses material. Allows multimedia file transfers and integration with third party application like Turnedin.

I am happy that I can accesses it from my phone... on the go.

I like it because it is easy to use and it is easily available on internet. You can download it free of cost.

It is pretty easy to use, intuitive, and organized. Their customer service is extremely helpful and responsive helping to problem solve whatever my needs have been.

Overall product experience is best in student life. It's help features is very useful.

It is easy and quick to set up even for no technical people. It is a reasonable cost depending on usage.

And also this makes students miss assignments they never saw.

The user interface is lightyears ahead of other services. The app is just as easy to use as the online version.

I have found the ease of use to be my favorite aspect, as well as the organization of the website is great to help me stay on track and keep tabs on upcoming assignments.

What I least liked about it is the fact that It lags at times.

I loved CANVAS - I highly recommend it. Very intuitive, and it keeps you organized.

The Canvas guides, videos, Community and help desk are really fabulous. Being able to access the answer to development questions 24/7 is a game changer for motivated learners.

It is one of the amazing application which is cloud-based and enables working smartly. It is a great tool that aids in better working for learning.

You need to learn how to use it, play nice with it, and it will play nice with you and with many other integratable softwares. Adapt to its quirks and you will be happy with it.

I love Canvas for all of my LMS needs. I love the ability to customize pages and design learner-centric courses for synchronous and asynchronous delivery.

Perhaps one of its best features is its plug-ins. Canvas works with other popular providers to integrate their products into Canvas.

The color theme of even and odd Courses seems weird. The odd courses are shown in a faded color which gives the illusion of inactive course.

Conva is very easy to use( user friendly). With canva am able to design flyers for my business at no cost.

The amount of different components could be confusing and as a user you may miss things if it’s not organized correctly.

It's really easy to use and it's quite intuitive.

I love that I can see my employees progress on assignments and test, as well as they can see their progress. It is easy to use for both myself and employees.

Good integration with videoconference tools, like Cisco Webex.

Also, some communication was missed as the alerts are slow, not seeming to be in real time.

It is a stable platform and has great usability. The best one for classes, scheduling, lessons and all the stuff.

The addition of external apps and ease of integration is helpful. I also really appreciate the support you can get from experts or others who share similar issues when using canvas.

My overall experience with Canvas is a great one. I did not run into any problems their customer service was unable to resolve very quickly.

I started out with what can be done for free online, having not a lot of money to spend as a start up. I could not have been more pleased.

CANVAS is a great system that I have used from both sides as a student and as an administrator, both were a great experience compared to other education systems I have used.

Not sure if I would have selected this, it was part of the suite of programs available at the time, but was pleasantly surprised.

Integration with third-party players. Doesn't crash and has a consistent performance.

Kaltura has auto-generated closed captioning software that is pretty accurate that makes this software easier for use and also universally accessible around educational institutes around the world.

Overall, Kaltura is a wonderful product that is essential to our learning environment.

This platform gives freedom to make PowerPoint presentations and webcam with both screens great advantage of this. Very professional and no type of glitch.

I love the convenience of Kaltura Video Platform because it is built into my university's learning management system (Blackboard), which does not require downloading any external tools.

It is easy to use and allows high quality video to be embedded on-the-go. This is an added advantage for companies who want to onboard video services in their business plan.

The program itself is very non intuitive and annoying. It is buggy, as it sometimes lasted for hours for a 10 minute video to upload.

My overall experience with Kaltura has been horrible. I will never use it again.

The functionality for saving video and then uploading it to an outside source was a little confusing at first.

This tool has been useful in providing an easy to use interface to record live sessions, welcome announcements, discussion posts, and provide media enhanced student feedback.

Easy to record the meetings for future reference and has inbuilt feature to pause/start and upload the recording to the enterprise servers.

The technology adaptability was murder. Could not resolve some issues for the camera yet no way to figure it out.

Customer Support is the absolute worst. And the KMC is Flash based.

The program was easy to use with a minimal learning curve, produced fine quality videos (even with a laptop webcam), and walked you through sharing.

I have experimented with the desktop screen recording solutions for my virtual classes and it works pretty well.

Kaltura is the worst product I have ever used.

Since I am on the user side of the software, I can't really think of negative things, except when I once had a problem and their customer service department weren't quick to respond.

Overall, Kaltura is a great program for online classes that require students to submit recorded speeches/videos.

I like what the software does, it just seems to be slow when posting videos.

I like all the features that come with the screen capture capabilities.

Kaltura makes uploading and embedding media easy. I used the platform various times to record and upload/embed videos for speech classes and it was relatively easy to use each time.

Kaltura is a valuable tool that integrates wonderfully with Canvas LMS. We have it set up for Teachers and Students to upload and publish videos.

The speeches often took long to upload/embed and sometimes were delayed before being available to view.

Kaltura had integrated with the rest of the university's technology in such a way that it is extremely easy for me to use and highly useful for me and my students.

Kaltura has been very easy to work with as a faculty member and gives students a good viewing experience.

This software does seem a little buggy at times where videos can pause at weird times and I'd have to restart the video.

It was frustrating but took a learning curve to finally figure it out. Upload is slow in my opinion.

I would switch browsers and enable Adobe Flash, but was unsuccessful. So, I often use a different recording device and use Kaltura Video Platform to upload, edit, and store my media.

1 click recording of meetings with audio and video and screen recording. Clarity is best and can be directly uploaded to the server from the application itself.

The tutorial showed buttons and functions that were not available on the version I was working with so the tutorial was frustrating at times.
