aesthetics matters; a thoughtfully designed and elegant LMS (at last)
Verified reviewer
- Finally, a LMS whose interface was clearly designed by people who care about making full-featured systems, understand the importance of elegance, and grok the educational experience for teachers and students
- Having long struggled with Coursework (tolerable) and Canvas (yikes), working with Kannu has been a breath of fresh air: 1) it doesn't feel like an endless hodge-podge of obligatory features checked off by some corporate committee, but a purposeful integration designed by educators; 2) the portfolio feature is simply excellent, particularly for courses with creative projects
- Its presentation really elevates (rightfully) a sense of accomplishment and pride for the student as they go from project to project, and something they can later point to as part of a job application
- LMS's are complex, and Kannu is no different (there is a learning curve)
- Yet Kannu is lightyears better than other LMS's I've used for one core reason: everything about it gives me the sense that it intensely cares about its quality of use, and by extension what my students and I can do with it

Intuitive and elegant UI that encourage student engagement
Blended delivery of on-campus courses with Kannu helped reduce tutorial time. It is also helping to reduce the time spent on grading standardised assessments. We rolled out bite sized online courses that cater to a large segment of learners who could not come to our campus. This helped us make education accessible and affordable.
- Course cards look very cool, modern and clean and is one of the most elegant course catalogue looks I've come across
- Session and coursework building is simple, quick and efficient
- Excellent communication features
- We use the individual and group messages with students a lot
- And students love to use these too since they have very familiar look and feel like popular social messaging apps
- The Course Galley feature was our first step to encourage students to engage in peer assessment
- The entire faculty team love the announcement feature, especially the ability to schedule any number of future announcements
- We use them a lot to remind students to keep up with learning tasks, due dates, etc
- All it takes is an hour at the beginning to the term to set up the entire messaging for the term (with planning of course
- ) Automatic grading of quizzes is a huge time saver, especially for classes with peak student numbers
- We even run final exams in full automation by programming the start time, end time and fully automatic grading
- In-video quizzes is simply awesome
- Helps heaps to make videos into interactive learning tools with very simple quiz setup
- This is a gem
- And finally, the folks at Kadenze work with us (you) to solve challenges and to roll out features
- Kadenze doesn't treat us like another client, we feel we are in a learning technology partnership, and that gives us the confidence to disrupt course delivery practices and effect change
- A faster server would be great (we can never get enough speed, can we
- :) )
- Also, a deeper drill down of individual student engagement analytics would be awesome
- We believe this is in the works
- The App version of the Kannu is awaited
- Though the mobile version of Kannu works/feels almost like an app, ability to send push notifications, etc
- would be awesome
- We would have loved to have the ability to lock/release individual sessions based on completion of the previous lesson in the sequence (and not just by time/date)

Kannu support needs improvement
I've taught online courses in design and drawing since 2007. I've experienced several different LMS as an instructor and a student. I have had the worst experience with Kannu, and the lack of responsiveness to cries for help is not acceptable. My overall experience was not easy, and I spent a LOT of time trouble-shooting. Right now, I'm attempting to download my courses and continue to receive error messages via email, and support tickets remain unanswered.
- Having used other LMS platforms, Kannu didn't measure up
- I didn't like much about it
- I want better instructor support
- There's delayed or no response to support tickets/requests
- There's no chat or ability to call and TALK WITH A HUMAN to resolve problems
- Students had problems with uploading coursework
- I had problems with posting comments, critiques, and grades

Very polished, friendly system
It helped me run my MOOC
- The system is easy for students and instructors to navigate, and it has a very polished feel throughout
- I've used Moodle and Blackboard in teaching, and they are much clunkier and less intuitive for students (not to mention they are very ugly out of the box, and it takes a talented internal tech team to make Moodle/blackboard look good)
- It is not as customisable as Moodle/Blackboard
- For instance, group submissions are not supported as far as I'm aware

2 years using Kannu
Support was quick and effective.
- The site looked great, and was simple to use
- Minimum additional instruction was needed when introducing users to the site - navigation was very obvious
- Video upload & processing could take quite a long time
- When setting up repeats of a course, every element needed the dates manually changed and publishing

Impressed with the contemporary design, easy navigation, and built-in instructional features.
It allowed us to grow our eLearning program.
- It truly serves as a digital hub for the classroom
- Not only is my own instructional content in the system, but students can upload a variety of coursework
- There is auto-grading and auto-tracking so it easy for students to track their progress and for us to communicate with each other
I would like to see a more robust ePortfolio system and more course analytics for administrators to pull out usage data

Verified UserKannu adds self-learning to our university courses
Verified reviewer
- We needed a way for our in-person university students to self-learn and self-serve before and after our courses - they had pre-work and resources to prep before, and competitions to submit to afterward
- Kannu lets us easily set up and run online components to these courses under our own organization's brand with a lot of customization
- Nothing I dislike - but we'd love to use it to run student competitions with judging and feedback
- It currently doesn't let us set up individual judges who can enter grades and feedback for any one submission

Used to build an easy system to interact with students
Used daily for less than 12 months
- The design is simple and easy to navigate, with a good amount of features
- It's easy to collaborate using this software
It would be ideal if there was a cheaper version of this software with fewer functionalities that my team could purchase

I used the Kannu LMS platform teaching a music technology course.
Verified reviewer
- This software makes it extremely easy to track all the basics such as lessons, assignments, attendance and grading with advanced features making it easy to customize your course and make a unique online experience for students
- Things such as assignment forums make it easy for students to interact
It takes a bit of getting used to at the start, tool-tips and walkthroughs may have helped more but the Kannu team was very responsive to any questions I had

Kannu for Visual Arts Classes
our art and design department really likes how modular the system is and how many different options you can have with modifying the content
- Great utility for having well documented digital and physical work
- Easy to work with and very flexible in the way you can teach a class
- some calendar and time management systems could be broaden to improve the efficiency in which you can edit some data
- i
- e
- maybe use a csv to do some of the date reorganizations faster
