Preparing for Parent Access in Canvas Timetable
Canvas Apps
Student App
"Canvas Student allows students to access their courses and groups using a mobile device. Students can submit assignments, participate in discussions, view grades and course materials. The app also provides access to course calendars, To Do items, notifications, and Conversations messages."
Teacher App
"Canvas Teacher allows teachers to facilitate their courses on the go, both inside and outside the classroom. This app provides quick access to grading, communicating, and updating—three of the most frequent course facilitation tasks for teachers through Announcements, Assignments, Discussions, and Quizzes."
Parent App
"Canvas Parent enhances the potential for parents to engage in their children's education. Parents can review upcoming or past assignments, check on grades, and receive alerts for student activity." While parents can see individual grades and feedback in Canvas at teacher disclosure, HAC is still the gradebook of record for final grades.
Innovation in Learning Webinars
Canvas Apps and Communication
Canvas apps allow for learning on the go, enabling students to access course materials, submit assignments, and participate in discussions from their mobile devices. Educators can customize learning experiences by tailoring content, assignments, and announcements to meet individual student needs. Through the parent app, guardians have the ability to view feedback on assignments, published materials, and course calendar. Join this asynchronous webinar to discover all the affordances of using the Canvas apps (Student, Teacher, & Parent) and how students, teachers, and parents can benefit from their features.
