Technology for Online Courses
A desktop or laptop computer with internet access should be the primary device used for online courses in Canvas. While Canvas can be used on mobile devices, such as tablets, Chromebooks, and cell phones, Canvas does not always function properly with mobile browsers, and there are features within Canvas that your instructor might use that do not appear in the Canvas app for mobile devices. In addition, some of the third-party applications that your instructor may have integrated in your Canvas course may not work on yo ur mobile device. There is limited mobile support for Canvas, so if you have a problem with Canvas using the mobile app, you may not be able to get help.
Your instructor may require that you take online proctored tests that use a webcam and microphone. Please check with your instructor to be sure that you are aware of hardware and software requirements for your course.
