Canvas has two apps for smart devices, the Canvas Student\u00a0<\/span>App,<\/span>\u00a0and the Canvas Teach<\/span>er App. As an instructor, you will use the teacher app most of the time<\/span>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>It will allow you to do many of the things that you can do in the full web-browser\u00a0<\/span>but will be more accessible<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>Pilot faculty\u00a0<\/span>report<\/span>\u00a0that using the Speed-grader function on their tablets is especially convenient. With the Teacher app you can keep track of\u00a0<\/span>the progress of your course and interact with students.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Most instructors will also want to download the Canvas Student App if only for the fact that when the Teacher app is accessing a common element with both Apps, it will open the student app <\/span>to<\/span>\u00a0give the most\u00a0<\/span>accurate<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>representation of the student\u2019s view.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n At WCU, the Panopto video storage and streaming platform is also integrated into Canvas and for full video functionality both you and your students should download the\u00a0<\/span>Panopto\u00a0<\/span>app<\/span>. In<\/span> the same manner downloading, installing, and logging into your Microsoft Outlook App, the Microsoft Teams App, and the Microsoft OneDrive App will <\/span>add even more functionality to both of your Canvas Apps.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/affiliate.wcu.edu\/cfc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2021\/04\/Canvas-Teacher-App.png” alt=”Canvas Teacher App” title_text=”Canvas Teacher App” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Canvas Teacher App<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/affiliate.wcu.edu\/cfc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2021\/04\/Canvas-ToDo-List.png” alt=”Canvas ToDo List” title_text=”Canvas ToDo List” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Canvas ToDo List<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/affiliate.wcu.edu\/cfc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2021\/04\/Settings-in-the-Canvas-App.png” alt=”Settings in the Canvas App” title_text=”Settings in the Canvas App” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Settings<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”2px|auto||auto||” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”99.9px” custom_margin=”-15px||7px|||” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Canvas\u00a0<\/em><\/span>SpeedGrader on IPad or Tablet\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f2f2f2″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n While the basic Canvas layout and the full use of Canvas tools like the calendar, the syllabus tool, and modules will help make your Canvas course more mobile friendly, there are ways to<\/span>\u00a0improve it more.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>A travel or\u00a0<\/span>experiential<\/span>\u00a0learning class, for\u00a0<\/span>example,<\/span>\u00a0might want to adjust all the online material in such a way that it could all be\u00a0<\/span>accomplished<\/span>\u00a0on cell phones.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Canvas has a special guide for optimizing courses for mobile work.<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n We also urge faculty to use caution when using the app to build courses<\/span>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>It is best to start\u00a0<\/span>on<\/span>\u00a0a full computer browser<\/span>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>The app does not allow you to create quizzes or exams, to add graded disc<\/span>ussions, to create a module or group, or to create or\u00a0<\/span>modify<\/span> a rubric<\/span> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||4px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n![\"Canvas](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/affiliate.wcu.edu\/cfc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2021\/04\/Canvas-Speedgrader-on-IPad-or-Tablet.png?ssl=1\")
