Canvas Teacher App
Did you know that Canvas has an app called “Canvas Teacher” available for Android and iOS? This app is super convenient for quick “on the go” needs you might have with your course, such as accessing the roster, using Roll Call, or accessing the Speedgrader. Take a look at this post in the Canvas community for more information:
https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/What-is-the-Canvas-Teacher-app/ta-p/69
For more robust course editing needs (like reorganizing modules or adding files), Canvas still recommends accessing your course via a web browser and not the Canvas Teacher app.
This app is also available on all University managed iPads through the Self-Service application.
Thanks,
Amy

Canvas Restrict Quantitative Data Setting

Enabling this setting in your course makes it so that students only see letter grades and comments, and not numeric points or points possible. For more information about this setting and how to turn it on, please visit the following article in the Canvas Community:
