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.

It would seem if you had no processes in place and wanted to follow their recommended ones, it would suit you well.

Data exports are limited - I had to code an application in PHP to work with the API to get enrolment information out in a usable format.

Some features are hidden inside of layers behind the straightforward UI, and it can be frustrating to track them down.

Training could be more in-depth and specific to each department. Faculty in particular seem to have a hard time with transition.

Good and reasonable pricing, well designed, easy to use, and excellent support.

That is very hard to say. I think the assignment grade release settings could be more granular.

It's designed by people who obviously understand the needs of a higher education institution. It is easy to use, intuitive, flexible and fast.

Contacting contacts directly from within Populi works more smoothly than the communication platforms on some competitors. Support is extremely useful and quick.

The different roles are great for controlling who has access to what information. Also, customer service has been amazing.

The ease of setting up your enrollment and grade book is fairly easy. I also liked the feature that allows you to transfer the entries from one semester to the next.

Populi is straight-forward in it's functionality and use. It is intuitive, which is a great help to new users.

Even sending emails to selected students is a hassle. Adding meeting times to courses is awfully difficult and annoying.

It is so great to have student records, financial records, academic catalog info, communications, and even recruitment working in the same integrated environment.

The staff has a great deal of confidence in the accuracy of posting data and capturing transactions events.

Populi is a stable and decently feature rich platform of online learning.

The integration between G-Suite, Populi, and Canvas with Single Sign-On works great. The customer support before and after implementation has been truly exceptional.

This deficit is not an issue for younger members who are accustomed to intuitive navigation of new websites. For older faculty, however, this is a stumbling block.

Previous 2 SIS software were expensive and hard to use.

Best SIS system for smaller colleges that we have used.
