Student Mobile 

Instructors and students may access Canvas from a mobile device, and while Canvas can be accessed via a mobile web browser, it is not officially supported. For the best user experience, we recommend using the free Canvas Student app, available for iOS and Android. 

Important 

When using a mobile device, it is vital to use the app to access a wider range of features. Using the website through a mobile browser allows limited viewing access on mobile devices but will not allow for some grading, quizzing, and other features to work properly. 

How does Canvas differ from Blackboard? 

Canvas’ mobile interface is more robust and user-friendly.
