Canvas has mobile apps for teachers and students. This article is about the Teacher apps.
Why You Should Get the Student App
As a faculty member, we recommend that you also install the Canvas Student app. This allows you to view your course as a student would see it on their phone. (See the exception below, however.) We know that IAIA students increasingly access Canvas from their phones rather than a computer.
Exception: If you enrolled as the teacher for a course, you can view navigation tabs in it that would normally be invisible to students.
