About Canvas Teacher
Canvas Teacher allows teachers to facilitate their courses on the go, both inside and outside the classroom. This app provides quick access to three of the most frequent course facilitation tasks for teachers:
• 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.
Canvas Teacher is the perfect mobile Canvas companion for course facilitation!

User reviews
👍
Great platform for teachers and students as a whole. This LMS is very user friendly and easy to navigate.
Easy to use, quick access to Canvas system.
Its a nice app. And it would be perfect if other features of the browser version can also be seen in this app. But overall, it is helpful for easy checking of student's submissions and progress.
Best LMS app ever!
Excellent 👍
