I have been using Canvas for several years. I find the controls for using the microphone to be unreadable and must find another way to record assignments. Additionally, the webcam has never seemed to work. Some of the lesson content has been inaccessible, but I attribute that to how the instructor creates the lessons, rather than Canvas. Other than having to either arrow up or down when taking a quiz or test, I have no other negatives about Canvas. In fact, I have found it to be the most accessible LMS I have ever used and I have used Blackboard and Angel. I am a JAWS user.

Other times you press the up arrow to find your question. It is very easy to find files that professors post to Blackboard. JAWS sometimes will not read the files if they are scanned in from a book.
