What is the Canvas Teacher app?

Canvas Teacher is a mobile app that allows instructors to facilitate their courses on the go, both inside and outside the classroom. This app provides quick access to grading, communicating, and updating—three of the most frequent course facilitation tasks for instructors through Announcements, Assignments, Discussions, and Quizzes. You can learn more about Canvas Teacher mobile features.

Canvas Teacher requires a Canvas account. If you are an instructor and your institution does not use Canvas, sign up for a Free for Teacher account.

Canvas Teacher is available for both Android and iOS devices.

Notes:

  • Depending on your institution, you may need to log in to additional apps to view certain course content.
  • If you are unable to access a desktop device and need to add course content using a mobile device, you can access Canvas and add or modify course content through your device's web browser.
