Pick Canvas Network if…
Canvas Network is suited to K–12 and higher education educators looking for professional development courses. It also works for learners who can use email to enroll and are comfortable creating a separate Canvas Network account.
Pick edX if…
edX suits learners pursuing education or ongoing professional development through courses, certificates, microcredentials, and other programs. Institutions and businesses can consider its LMS integrations and administrative tools; app users who need timed or proctored exams must use something other than the app for those exams.
