Review of CANVAS ( Student Perspectives! )

Description: 
Canvas is an online course management program commonly used for providing learning resources at anytime and from anywhere. To describe canvas from students' perspectives, canvas makes students easier to check their course schedules such as exam date and due date of assignment and also to check their grades. Besides students can receive learning materials and can contact with the teacher and classmates through canvas.

Pros:
By accessing the canvas, students are able to keep track of current, past and coming course activities. In case of not attending class, canvas helps student to figure out what has happened on that day and what to do for next lesson. Another beneficial feature is promoting more chances to communicate between students and teachers, since canvas has communicative tools such as discussions, chat, collaborations, and conferences.

Cons:
The drawback that I found in canvas was that people could make more than one account with different user name which might cause some confusions in logging in.


Overall feeling:
I think canvas has many competitive features that are available to support students' learning.
One of best features, like discussion  encourages students to give some suggestions or feedback on the course-related issues. Students will more actively participate in course activities and assignment requested by themselves.
