About Canvas
Canvas Student by Instructure connects students with courses offered through their school or institution. It is a learning app for checking coursework, submitting assignments and keeping up with class communication. It is separate from Canva, the graphic design service.
Students can view course materials and grades, participate in discussions and submit supported assignments from their mobile device. Available tools depend on the course and the institution's Canvas configuration. Signing in requires access to a participating school or organization.
The mobile app is useful for checking course updates on the go. Some activities may work better in a web browser, and teachers use separate teaching tools for grading and course administration. This page lists Android APK versions; check the official store for current compatibility and releases.
