Navigate 3 - Course Creation within LMS

During this exploration with different LMS's to create a course, I finally chose Canvas. I began to download Moodle, which was the most involved download that I have encountered in a while. Needless to say, I abandoned that one and went to Canvas.  Canvas was relatively easy to navigate but I didn't see how to recreate the assignment as it was displayed in the tool module.  So then, I decided to try out Blackboard so I would have a comparison.  But, I couldn't get to an area where I could do a single sign on, not being with an institution.  

The tools Canvas uses are courses, calendar, dashboard, inbox, content, uploads, and conferences. After the content uploaded I was prompted by Canvas to invite students to the course I created, 8th Grade Algebra I.  There shareable links to the course as well as a place to provide emails.  I was also shown a "Quick Setup Guide".  Canvas is very user-friendly.  The onsite tutor guides you through step by step with having all components ready before you publish a class.
