Thank you! I wasn't aware of that literature. It makes good sense that when students create their own assignments they will feel a sense of ownership and be more engaged in the course.

Thank you!

d21585h · ‎08-12-2016

Thanks. This is something I hear from students all the time. I think for students who do have Wi-Fi at home, if your students had offline access, they might start studying in times when they previously could not. I also think faculty would benefit from this. I look forward to this feature finally being available.

d21585h · ‎08-11-2016

This morning, I spoke with a colleague who attended InstructureCon and he said there was serious talk about finally adding offline access for the app. Does anyone else know about this? If so, could somebody please state more about this? Thanks

d21585h · ‎08-08-2016

I'm also looking forward to this next evolution! I do hope that the mobile moments can be broader and not just include Canvas only, but mobile education. As one who works in online education, my classroom is mostly virtual, so I'll be thinking about how we can adapt what works well with campus-based students to online students.

As one who couldn't attend InstructureCon this year, this is helpful.

d21585h · ‎07-06-2016

Definitely! I've put a reminder on my calendar to ping you in early August.

d21585h · ‎07-06-2016

@rseilham I wish I could, but I can't. Our students will be on campus during that time, so I can't leave. I hope you all have a good conference!

For students: the ability to download course materials within the app. I previously proposed this as an idea but it never materialized. I continue to hear this need all the time from our students. Thanks

d21585h · ‎06-07-2016

I would like the ability to enroll students from the iOS app.

d21585h · ‎05-11-2016

While I haven't had this specific problem before, previously when I've had odd app problems, uninstalling/deleting the app, doing a soft reset and then re-installing the app fixes the problem. Have you tried that?

d21585h · ‎01-29-2016

While this is not the direct answer to your question. before we open courses, part of our QA process is to view the course in the mobile app. This helps to mitigate any issues like this and other occasional odd quirky issues that are mobile only issues.

d21585h · ‎12-18-2015

I'm loving it - nice job, Instructure!

d21585h · ‎11-24-2015

@rseilham and erinhallmark Thank you for both the larger effort and compiling the document. Maybe I missed it, but I don't see peer review on the list. This recently came up for us and after not being able to figure out to do it on the iOS app, I contacted Instructure support and they validated what I was guessing: peer review is NOT possible on the iOS app. If I am correct, could this please be added to the document? Thanks

d21585h · ‎11-23-2015

In addition to what awilliams said. I went through our help desk Canvas iOS tickets to review issues. Aside from bugs that Instructure later fixed, I discovered that our students were wanting to do things on the Canvas iOS app that can NOT be done. Specifically: Peer review View comments in a Word document made by Crocodoc A student cannot add a Canvas calendar event onto their group calendar I suggest that we compile a list of what cannot be done and include that. This is an easy way to properly set user expectations and avoid further disappointment. Also, because I don't use Android devices, perhaps there are things that one platform can do and another cannot. It would be nice to clearly state those differences. Thanks

d21585h · ‎11-04-2015

@biray and @rseilham : Thank you for all your hard work to make this class possible - and you made it fun! Having the student experience is always valuable. I hope there will be more classes like this in the future. Thanks again!

d21585h · ‎10-15-2015

@RobDitto I agree -especially with the offline content. I had created a similar request " modifiedtitle="true" title="Download materials in Canvas Mobile App and it has been archived. However, like you, our students have the same need. Our workaround has been to create a shadow LMS - private iTunes U courses. Students can download the materials and view them offline. However, it would be much less confusing for students not to have to manually enroll in each private iTunes U course but instead access them through the Canvas mobile app. As course content changes, we have to remember to add it to iTunes U. Despite our best efforts, this does not always happen. Even though this feature is not in the top ten list, I hope that the Instructure mobile developers will keep this on their radar. Thank you

Something I am thinking increasingly about is how to use wearables to enhance the student educational experience. The projected growth rate is stunning: by 2019, they are expected to have a five year compounded projected annual growth rate of over 45%. While I and many others are patiently waiting for Instructure to release their Apple Watch app, I know from my MBA studies at a school that uses Blackboard, that BB already has an app. I like the fact that I get notifications on my Apple Watch of announcements and when an assignment has been graded. I dream of the day when I can better utilize it in my studies to better interact with fellow students. My questions: * How are others using wearables to enhance the student educational experience? * Has anybody found a way to make polling or brief quizzes work on wearables? I did some brief searching and couldn't find a way to do it. I'd enjoy hearing others big picture thoughts on this. Thanks, Dave

Not I. On my iOS 9 iPhone, I just logged out of Canvas, force quit the app and was able to login again. Good luck and I hope this is resolved soon!

d21585h · ‎08-21-2015

With iOS v. 3.10 this is now fixed. Thanks to the Instructure mobile team for correcting this problem!
