Canvas The User Friendly Interface for Students & Universities

I enjoyed using canvas. I had the app on my phone and the browser on my desktop. The interface was easy for me to navigate and it did a good job of email notifying me when tasks were due or if professors were sending out announcements.

Pros

I used both blackboard and canvas as a student. I found that canvas was far better at organizing my classes and easy to learn how to use. Its more colorful platform is easy on the eyes as well. I also found that the online testing/quizzing feature was super easy to get the grasp of.

Cons

I find that the only issue is that there is no personal customization tools to make the home feed meet my specific needs. If there was a way to highlight the classes that are challenging, organize the homework and tasks in the home page, and connect to my apple calendar (this was a feature I had trouble with) there would be no major cons.
