It’s simple. The best tools are the ones that just work. The best customer service is the one you never (or rarely) have to use. The best technology knows it’s a means to an end and behaves accordingly. That’s why at Canvas we keep it simple. We believe in easy-to-use, intuitive features that simply do what they’re supposed to do. It all comes down to our core goal: to make teaching and learning easier. You can have the sexiest, most cutting-edge features in the world, but if they don’t make teaching and learning easier, then what’s the point?
Less time. Less effort. More awesome.
Canvas demands half the time and half the effort while giving you and your students twice the awesome. (All numbers are unscientific approximations. After all, how exactly do you measure awesome?) It’s our goal at Canvas to make teaching and learning easier and part of that is wasting less of your time and effort trying to get your LMS to do what it should just do.

And when students are truly engaged, they learn more and perform better, which is the point, right?
