Tech Tip; Canvas Notifications

I signed up to receive canvas notifications on my ou email. I really like some things canvas does and I really hate some things it does. The notifications take a while to get to you after they are posted. Things like grades could be posted an hour before and it takes canvas an hour to send me the notification. I think that is something that they need to work on. If i sign up for notifications I want them immediately.
