Canvas Mobile Access with the Teacher App
The Canvas Teacher app allows instructors convenient access to their courses using a mobile device. Instructors get access to Announcements, Assignments, Discussions, Quizzes, and Speedgrader for quick grading, communicating, and updating. However, not all Canvas features are supported on the Canvas mobile apps.
Enter University of the Incarnate Word in the school search box to connect to your courses. Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) students access the ABSN program courses by searching uiwabsnonline.instructure.com.
Recommendations
We recommend all instructors:
- Build the course using a web browser.
- Be familiar with the Canvas features before switching to the mobile app.
- Try actions in a web browser if you have any issues with the mobile app.
Common challenges with mobile app access:
- Formatting can be problematic, such as course info not displaying in dark mode even though it does in light mode.
- Subject matter can be difficult to see or understand in a smaller display, such as complex diagrams or spreadsheets.
- Wireless Internet connection can be slower or unreliable.
- Typing a larger amount of text is easier with a keyboard.
- Not all digital textbooks or third-party tools are mobile-friendly.
