Canvas Student Android

Platform for the management of academic resources

Many schools do not have the necessary resources to develop their own intranet, or simply, prefer to hire platforms that provide this service. Canvas Student is a tool that can be used to provide both students and teaching staff with the necessary file sharing to facilitate distance learning and access to all the material needed to follow their courses.

Online access to the contents of a course

Users, depending on the permissions they have, can access all shared files, create new topics, open discussions, and more. This is a well-designed tool that allows both the management of courses and different groups of students.

These are the main features it offers:

• Access to the contents of each course.
• Area for the presentation of tasks.
• Qualification area.
• Coursework checklist with built-in calendar.
• Mailbox to send and receive messages, allowing communication between members of each of the courses.
• Publication of discussions.
• Playing videos.
• Notification system to warn of any relevant updates.

There is no doubt that it is an excellent resource to make the task easier for teachers and students, thus reinforcing face-to-face classes or a tool to use in case of having to teach online for reasons of force majeure (such as a pandemic, for example).

Requirements and additional information:

• Minimum operating system requirements: Android 8.0.
