Can't publish a Module using the Teacher App

[SusanNiemeyer]

Unfortunately, I'm limited to the Canvas App on my cell phone this weekend. I have a module I'd like to publish this morning, but I can't. I'm really frustrated by this lack of functionality.

(No, I can't get into my Canvas site through my school's website on my phone. I'm having issues logging on due to the college's new two-step authentication process.)

Hi @SusanNiemeyer ...

I realize that this Feature Idea is now over four years old, but I found something similar to what you are requesting ... so that you and others can participate in that discussion and give it a star rating.

Modules tab in Canvas Teacher app

Hope this will help a bit.

HI @Chris_Hofer 

Another "New Idea" conversation that's four years old. I don't have much hope. Still, it would seem like a no-brainer that a teacher should, at the very least, be able to publish modules with the Canvas teacher app. Oh well......

At least, I was able to send an announcement to my students to let them know.

I found a work around. On my phone, I  logged into canvas from my browser to avoid the app. From there I could publish the module. (From there app, I was able to publish individual assignments, but without the whole module published, it didn't do any good.)

Hi @SusanNiemeyer and @KirstenRooks ...

You may have already seen this, but since my reply in 2022, the idea process which used to be referred to as Feature Ideas has been revamped to be called Ideas and Themes.  As you've seen in my reply from 2022, I had linked to the idea:

[Mobile - Canvas Teacher] Modules tab in Canvas Teacher app

This idea is part of a larger theme called:

Increase parity between mobile and web versions of Canvas

This theme is currently open for voting.  You'll notice that the idea I linked to is listed under the heading "Referenced Ideas" (currently listed third-from-the-bottom) in that theme.

Here is some additional information on voting and participation of the theme:

How do I participate with themes?

Hope this might help in some way.  Take care...

Thanks, @Chris_Hofer. I really hope that Instructure will tackle some of these improvements even if they don't get enough "votes."
