The Pros and Cons of Using the Canvas LMS System
Pros
+ Easy interface for grading--I don't have to download and upload papers anymore for grading. I don't have to use track changes anymore in Word. Canvas has an easy interface for direct grading, which really saves me time.
+ Embedded rubric for Forums and assignments--I love the embedded rubric which makes grading easy and intuitive.
+ Easy to find classes on the dashboard
+Rare outages--Rarely does it crash like previous programs I have used where the program would crash on the due date of a major assignment. Canvas has an excellent server system.
+Fast navigation--Because of its superb server system, navigating on the online interface is smooth, easy and quick.
+Easy Speedgrader for all assignments and quizzes, which allows me to grade all students fast.
+Able to upload large video files to forums and announcements
+Easy to embed videos from Youtube with the easy Embed function.
