Canvas by Instructure app review: course completion made possible at any time from anywhere

Introduction

Literally bringing your education directly to your fingertips, this iPhone and iPad app lets you finish your courses remotely. Whether you are an early riser who wants to get your homework done first thing in the morning, or you are the procrastinator like myself, who leaves things until the last minute, you will find this app to be your best friend when it comes to completing  and submitting assignments.

Unfortunately, it seems like this app has a few bugs which make it a little difficult and sometimes frustrating to use. It takes far too much patience and lowered expectations to get a net positive out of it, but at the end of the day, it does enable users to do things they wouldn't be able to do otherwise. The scales tip in its favor.

Courses And Curriculum

Canvas by Instructure lets you keep your educational awareness at relatively higher levels. Your school must be using this app for it to work for you. By installing it onto your mobile devices, you will receive to-do lists for your courses. You can mark them off or make submissions directly through your iPhone or iPad to take that particular assignment down from your to-do list.

After you select the courses for which you have registered, they will appear on your Canvas by Instructure account. You can view your entire course syllabus. You will also get access to the course content such as files, assignments, and relevant research webpages. Course modules can be completed directly from this app.

 

Assessments

No education app is complete without bringing students together. With Canvas by Instructure, you can participate in discussions with your peers, giving you ideas and inspiration for your assignments and projects. Private messages can also be exchanged between students. Each person has a personal Canvas profile that helps them paint a picture of themselves and also learn about their fellow classmates.

Although it has its programming flaws, I have reason to believe that the developer will work on making them better. If your school uses Instructure, I would highly recommend downloading this app on your iPhone or iPad to help you stay in touch with the goings-on of your school.
