Canvas Teacher Customer Insights

1. There have been a few instances where I neglect to change submission from "No submission" and don't have access to a computer right away but have students waiting on me to correct this.For the most part it makes it convenient with checking in on students, grading, etc... a couple of annoyance: PLEASE adjust the settings so we can copy text.

2. Grading is especially cumbersome as you grade a question you have to click on the box where you assign the score, then tell open up the devices keyboard, then tell your device you need the number and not letter pad.

3. Some of the assignments are online text submissions, and they all open fine on desktop, so I can't figure out what is giving the Android app such trouble.Don't expect it to match up with the browser version.

4. It's not very handy when using a tablet and pen to grade, doesn't represent all of the features on the website, and although that is clunky as Blackboard it really has a lot of disorganized functionality and feature quirks.

5. The developers need to have a roundtable with teachers to discuss where Canvas falls short, mostly with the app!!Amazing to have the ability to edit content and make announcements on mobile plus the ability to quickly grade! So grateful for this capability.

6. Ps Wow, they listened to feedback and added modules!!! It was the biggest gap in the prior version and now it's there and very useful.Works great for grading on the go... Until it freezes my phone.

7. Edit: still really clunky, but now with the added bonus of frequently crashing while I'm trying to read assignments my students turned in through Canvas.

8. I primarily use it messaging students and grading assignments that have been submitted as file uploads.

9. I like grading with the touchscreen of my tablet though, something I can't do with my windows laptop, so I put up with the app.Great app, and it makes reviewing work easier.

10. The inclusion of Radial buttons for grading full, half and zero credit or even simply signalling to the device to bring up the numeric keypad first you make the app so much easier to use.

11. Get it together, please.The app can be clunky at times to use, making you open a browser and login to the site to use certain functionality.
