Considerations for Mobile Users

Canvas Student App for mobile has limitations

Many students use the Canvas Student App Links to an external site. to access classes.   For many, this is their primary means of accessing Canvas. 

Let students know to submit assignments from a computer, not a mobile device

This is because the app has limitations, it's probably a good idea to include a statement like the following in your orientation or syllabus:

Canvas on Mobile Devices.    Students using mobile devices have reported problems submitting assignments using browsers and the Canvas Student App Links to an external site. . When submitting assignments, always use a desktop or laptop computer.  The college has computer labs on campus if needed. 

 

Link to modules from Home, not pages

Another issue with the app is the way it links to pages within a module.  Because the app won't show the Next button, it's best to link to the MODULE Links to an external site. rather than a  page within the module.
