An LMS which required much improvement
What do you like best about the product?
Here, my university has been using this LMS from last many years till 2021, The tool is very good with the integrated online class portal, assessment was also smooth. The safe-assign feature works well to check plagiarism. The study content uploading is also a Breeze.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it's difficult to get the actual location of the desired task due to the complexity of it. As our university spread so much it was difficult to get resolutions for the rapidly assisted problems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making the assessment and class conduct easier
Worst shit I've ever used.
What do you like best about the product?
It is somewhat functional by means of delivering simple files and content to students.
That's probably it.
That's probably it.
What do you dislike about the product?
- Mobile App: Complete rubbish. Critical bugs while taking tests (e.g. images not displaying at all) haven't been fixed for a decade and continues to struggle students to even make simple actions done in the mobile app. Not using native UIs at ALL. Look at what Canvas is doing? And please explain why everytime the one refreshes or even goes into the app, the order of courses shuffles randomly. This is unbelievable. Hard to believe a product that lives in 2023 doesn't even get to the bottom line of mobile app experience. A student toy project probably has more UX considerations than yours.
- Web UI: UI on smaller screens are nearly unusable by the poorly designed and implemented sidebars. And you don't use flyouts for contents like courses. If the one accidentally hit that wide overlay area while taking a quiz then you are done for your life. Worse design ever seen.
- Calendar: Simply broken and unusable. Sometimes all events within (one or more randomly chosen) calendars just simply gone.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It delivers content from professors digitally to me, and that's all I can say.
Seamless Experience
What do you like best about the product?
Very organized and easy to use, specially when you get so used to it. Also I like the assessment feature because there's a lot of option. Embedding of website is very seamless.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe you will get overwhelmed the first time, I mean its quite intimidating to use at first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's more of the assessment features and it helps us provide better alternatives for our questions and it lessens the chances of cheating.

content management and interaction with students are the two most crucial things that were solved
Great Experience
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it acts like an LMS with a huge amount of features for creating quizes and assignments mak8ng it more easier as you just add the content and then create all the other stuff on the platform.
Also all the content can be easily exported and reused which is amazing.
And I really like their quick support if there’s any problem.

What do you dislike about the product?
It requires a kind of full hands on training for some teachers and managers as its features are not easily detected by anyone who is not a tech-savvy.
Also I think they must add the ability to disable some features for the instructors by the supervisors to prevent confusion.
