The student is expected to edit, build, run their code in either Visual Studio/Visual C++ or XCode. "Canvas" is just the web app they use for organizing and delivering the assignments and accepting submissions. I think Canvas software is fine, but the professor hasn't done a lot of quality-control of the content. It's all over the place, includes old or repeated content and gives contradictory guidance (e.g. lab/assignment numbering). But it's a community college, so I don't think there's a lot of peer review (of the professor's content) going on.
