Instructure, the vendor that makes (Carmen)Canvas, has just released the Canvas Teacher app last week at InstructureCon! The app is available on both iOS and Android, and currently allows you to perform the following tasks:
- GRADING: Browse submissions and provide feedback to your students with a new and improved mobile SpeedGrader embedded in this app.
- COMMUNICATING: Send announcements and messages (including “Message Students Who…”), and participate in course discussions from the palm of your hand.
- UPDATING: Need to change a due date? Or publish an assignment? Or fix a misspelling? Canvas Teacher allows you to update your course content.
We plan to offer workshops on this app soon after the new semester starts. In the mean time, feel free to download the app and see how it can help you be more productive! (iOS Link; Android Link)
