Canvas Mobile Access for Faculty
- Instructors and students may access Canvas from a mobile device, and while Canvas can be accessed via a mobile web browser, it is not officially supported. For the best user experience, we recommend using the free Canvas Teacher or Canvas Student apps, available for iOS and Android.
Important
- The Canvas App allows instructors to manage their courses on mobile devices. It provides access to the SpeedGrader tool as well as the Gradebook.
Warning: When using a mobile device, it is vital to use the app to access a wider range of features. Using the website through a mobile browser allows limited viewing access on mobile devices but will not allow for some grading, quizzing, and other features to work properly.
