As an instructor, I’m not a big fan of LMS’s. I have the most experience with two: Canvas and Brightspace.
Canvas has some advantages for the “grader”—especially one who uses an Ipad with apple pencil to mark up papers. Brightspace has nothing equivialent, and it’s a pain to annotate papers without annoying extra steps.
Brightspace has one feature that is a no-brainer: in the “overall feedback” text box, you have the full host of options for rich text editing, linking, embedding, etc.
Canvas has… a plain text box. So annoying not to be able to hyperlink to something.
But actually, you don’t really need to an LMS. Microsoft Teams with OneNote class notebook could do basically everything most people use Canvas or Brightspace for.
My favorite way of giving feedback would be directly in a locked OneNote page, where I can use my apple pencil to mark and then embed a Loom video or add an audio comment wherever needed.
