What differentiates Canvas from other similar products?

Canvas for business is clearly a great software program for educators to use compared to others because of it's easy navigation and finding professional development choices in one spot. I can use my dashboard to find classes and a transcript of previous courses taken. It is very convienent to use.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I love the dashboard. It shows the current classes that I am enrolled in and gives important information about upcoming course. It turns in work for you and grades it immediately.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Sometimes if you forget to submit something it doesn't always remind you that you forgot to submit. It can sometime be hard to look up certain titles to classes.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Try it out! It is user friendly and houses much data for companies all in one place.
