My school has been primarily blackboard, but some of my classes were actually ported to canvas at the beginning of the spring term. I have to say canvas is a lot friendlier and actually a joy to use. I dont know if its how my school has Blackboard signed up, but just the fact that I stay authenticated for longer than 10 minutes is a nice step up.

Most of the papers teachers post open up using scribd which is so much easier than dealing with a docx file or pdf.

I think Instructure is taking a step in the right direction, and I hope they can make through all of the crap Blackboard and Universities will give them.
