So all these top universities using Canvas as a core part of their infrastructure somewhat begs the question : why would a technology degree from them have any real value if they can't even have their infrastructure built and maintained by students themselves? If their education is really worth that much money, why can't they build their own infrastructure?
Have you look at student generated code ?
I mean, maybe it changed in the last 10 years. But I was a TA grading CS majors for a while. Their C capstone or what have you.
Some were decent but naively coded. Most were pile of shit half hazardly put together so it output what is needed to get passing grade.
But I agree with you in spirit!
