How do I use the Teacher app on my Android device?
As an instructor, you can use the Canvas Teacher app to access and manage course content while you are away from a computer browser. The app displays your Dashboard, Calendar, To Do list, Inbox, and user profile.
The images in this lesson are shown for a phone display, but unless otherwise noted, tablet displays mirror the same steps.
Notes:
- Not all Canvas features are supported on the app at this time.
- The Canvas Teacher app uses your device's settings to set the time zone used within the app.
- To change the language displayed in the Teacher app, select a language in Canvas from a web browser, log out of the Teacher app, and log in again.
