Teacher-student interaction and student-student interaction are very significant in education. Especially with the epidemic moving education from offline to online around the world, the interactive features of learning management systems (LMS) should be taken more seriously. With the development of technology, there are more and more ways to enable interaction for both students and teachers.

In addition, through the analysis of the questionnaires of the students who use Canvas and the reference to other learning websites, we will be able to provide some comments and suggestions on the development of interactive functions of Canvas.
