About this app

Time is a teacher’s most valuable resource. Save time and use Canvas more efficiently from your mobile device with Canvas Teacher.

Canvas Teacher allows teachers to facilitate their courses on the go, both inside and outside the classroom. This app provides quick access to three of the most frequent course facilitation tasks for teachers:

• GRADING: Browse submissions and provide feedback to your students with a new and improved mobile SpeedGrader embedded in this app.
• COMMUNICATING: Send announcements and messages (including "Message Students Who..."), and participate in course discussions from the palm of your hand.
• UPDATING: Need to change a due date? Or publish an assignment? Or fix a misspelling? Canvas Teacher allows you to update your course content.

Canvas Teacher is the perfect mobile Canvas companion for course facilitation!

Ratings and reviews

Generally love this app, but 2 things. 1) the rubric/comments window is now to the right of the document instead of below it. This is MUCH less usable. When it was below, I could easily swipe it down to get the document on full screen or swipe it up to get the rubric on full screen. It was great! Now I'm stuck with 1/3 waste. Please share if I'm missing something (I need full screen docs). Next, please optimize it for e-ink tablets. It's amazing to read on, but the writing lag is rough.

While this app is convenient it significantly lacks functionality. I don't get why you can't see "grades* in the app but you can on the website. Same goes for modules. The app should essentially be a copy of the website version, but it's not. I can't enter "excused" or remove late points in the app which essentially makes grading in the app obsolete. Also lacks the delay until announcement function for announcement posts or allowing students to like and not just comment. Please update the app!

It can be convenient, but lots of bugs with the grading lately. I grade something, but it's still showing in the list of assignments I need to grade, even though the grade appears. Now, it's doing it with things dating all the way back to the beginning of the semester. Also, it should make links clickable when you edit an assignment on the app, I have to jump on my laptop to make the link active. Also, you should be able to add things to a module on the app.
