Review of Canvas (student perspective)

Description
     Canvas is an educational learning management system in web-site which was created in Utah, in 2011. You can access to it through all possible internet devices and also link with other web-sites such as Youtube, Facebook, Twitter and Google. With your teacher's code number, you can enter the site  and check what is going on in the course you take. You are able to know assignments, due dates, your grades and monthly schedule, etc. In other words, Canvas has a role of pen and paper you use in order to memorize some information for your course.

Pros
    The best thing of Canvas is that you can check all the things you need for the class very instantly. It tells you which assignment you've already submitted and which report you are scheduled to hand in by what date, and even what kinds of schedules the teacher has in the month. This makes it very convenient for you to plan your own time schedule and you are getting in urgent of accomplishing your work. Another good point is that you can contact with your teacher and peers, and have discussion about topics, which means Canvas is an interactional web-site, not one way direction.

Cons
     It may happen you can be in trouble in the class if you do not check the site regularly. Like a daily plan book, you'd better enter the site and check it every day to confirm the process of your class.

Overall feeling
     At first time, I was a little surprised at the well-defined assignments and monthly schedules. Teacher states the grades in details and clearly. I think students have no bias about their grades because teachers can open most sources and post the standard of grades very explicitly. So it is very useful to support learning management and inform the news to the students.
