Canvas vs. ProProfs Quiz Maker

If you have a school you can let teachers easily create new deadlines which [automatically] get shown in the calendar. Teachers can also [temporarily] hide deadlines [until] they've given the explanation about the tasks. [Besides] that the teacher can also choose what should be uploaded, should it be a link, file, pdf, link,...

ProProfs is amazing for all the business marketing purposes I’ve mentioned above. Adding product recommendations and lead forms to the quizzes is very easy. Integration with Constant Contact makes the follow-ups easy as well. Also, the tool offers thorough and easily digestible reports to analyze and optimize our quiz marketing strategy.

• Learning management - Even as the educational landscape rapidly shifts due to current events, Canvas is a great LMS for providing a consistent learning environment for students.
• Mobile accessibility - Students can access their courses on Canvas from a variety of devices, including their smartphones.
• Rich content - Instructors have the ability to create dynamic and engaging content for their courses.

• Creating assessments is very easy with ProProfs. It has lots of pre-designed assessments that we can quickly modify by adding questions from their question bank.
• It has excellent anti-cheating features which allow us to conduct remote hiring tests.
• The tool provides simple and useful reports with visual statistics that make it very easy to compare candidates.

• Their integration with Big Blue Button was a bust for distance learning. Would be great to see them collaborate with Zoom or Google Meets.
• Their "feature request" process is slow and cumbersome at times because it relies on user "up votes" to get ideas addressed by the developers.
• They seem to have a lot of turn-over with their staff. We get a new Customer Success Manager far more frequently than with other vendors.

• In my opinion, it doesn’t really need any improvements, but I’d like to see some advancements in:
• Templates.
• Question Types.
• Grading.

Several factors contribute to my "10" rating. First, our university just made an enormous switch to Canvas, after we were with Blackboard for almost a decade. So garnering buy-in was critical, and not something we took lightly. After nearly 18 months (start to finish) of training faculty, educating stakeholders, and migrating courses, I am not looking to make a change again anytime soon. But I am happy with the result and the product overall and that is also demonstrated in my rating.

The functions in Canvas are well integrated and consistent across the application, and mostly intuitive. Overall navigation and setup is streamlined through integrated features and navigation. The feedback we've gotten from our program participants is that it is easy to learn to use. It also integrates well with third party software like Google Docs and Blackboard Collaborate web conferencing software

I’d give it a solid 9 for the impeccable features that this tool offers. The features are all well-aligned with the process of creating quizzes and tests. The features have been carefully developed to help reduce human time & effort and that makes all the difference. And hence, the rating

I do not personally use Canvas support since we have a central office that helps us. However, our central office always has the answers we need and are always able to solve our issues - so I would assume that get great support from the Canvas team on their end. They also offer great training, which uses materials directly from Canvas

Because it met all the requirements my organization had. we were using it to meet our overall business goals that include lead generation, growing our brand reach, recruiting the best candidates, quality employee on-boarding & training, and more. The easy to use interface and flexible customization made the tasks easy, and we accomplished the desired targets from the tool

The training sessions were broken down into several days as well as different levels depending upon the knowledge of the user

The online tutorials and videos are very clear and addressed the issues/questions that I had about using the system.

Once you purchase and sign the contract there is nothing to install or hardware to buy. You can almost immediately start using it and have courses up and going within weeks. We signed in December and had pilot courses online ready to go for the start of school in January

Canvas is in the experience way better than Google Classroom. Canvas has a
more robust agenda system that also allows adding in new personal
deadlines. [Assignments] can be submitted past [the] deadline (if allowed),
this isn't allowed by Google [Classroom], If you're too late you can't
submit anything anymore. In Classroom [assignments], presentations/theory, and [announcements] are all put in 1 feed instead which gets confusing way
faster.

ProProfs Quiz Maker is an easy-to-use online quiz software that makes it ideal to be used by anyone with any level of skills. It comes packed with some amazing self-explanatory features like the templates, question bank, automated grading, reports, and more that make the process of creating a quiz for lead generation seamless and easy.

• Teachers have consolidated their content onto one platform which has decreased reliance of students on so much support staff assistance to access content.
• Canvas has helped make technology transitions more seamless for the school community.
• Once teachers have set up their page, Canvas really takes care of it all- they have much more time to focus on content creation and synthesis rather than the actual learning management system.

• I feel that it has allowed me to do more with my quizzes.
• I would very much like to have more control over the certificates that are auto generated after they take the exam.
