How do I add a discussion in the Teacher app on my Android device?
You can add an ungraded discussion in your course using the Teacher app.
The images in this lesson are shown for a phone display, but unless otherwise noted, tablet displays mirror the same steps.
Note: Graded discussions cannot be added using the app.
Add Discussion
Tap the Add icon.
In the Title field [1], add a title for the discussion.
In the Description field [2], add a description for the discussion. You can use the Rich Content Editor menu to format your description [3]. If necessary, you can view all formatting options by swiping the formatting menu left and right. The Rich Content Editor supports undo, redo, bold, italics, underline, text color, bullet list, numbered list, hyperlink, and images.
Note: Images can only be added by referencing the URL to the image; the Teacher app does not currently host any media uploaded from your mobile device.
Attach File
To attach a file to your message, tap the Attach icon [1]. Then select the type of file you want to upload [2]. You can attach a new image from your camera, an image from your gallery, or a file form your device.
Note: To learn more about media attachments, view the Canvas Media Comparison PDF.
