It has taken some time to encourage students and faculty to use mobile apps when accessing our Canvas instance, but we have made a lot of progress. This push came after we encouraged users to use the Calendar feature in their mobile devices. Our curriculum revolves around class calendars, and they needed a convenient way to access all the events in their classes. This has been a tremendous success, they can even access assignments and download attachments posted in the calendar through their phones and tablets.
Now it might be time to push for the use of mobile devices for other components inside Canvas. We recently acquired the Canvas video solution Arc, and students may be consuming these videos in mobile devices and not so much on PCs.
Regarding notifications, we have seen students turning them off more and more, they find this feature a little annoying, I find it useful though.
I want to know more about the Canvas mobile options and features, I will be doing more research on this and hopefully I will be able to share with all of you.
Thank you.
