We are having issues when students open an annotation and fill it out, the next assigned annotation is the filled-out first one, and so on for the rest of the annotation assignments, the students are only able to see the very first one they filled out. We are using a Samsung Galaxy A9+ tablet with the Canvas app I'm not…
I am having issues with my due dates in the canvas mobile app not reflecting the time zone I set in my account or that of my university. I am in Mountain Time Zone and my university is in Pacific. I went in and changed my account to reflect pacific but that only fixed the desktop version of canvas due dates. In the canvas…

I used the dark theme…

Because I only have an iPad I use the app, and admittedly I split screen and usually have Hulu or Netflix playing while I’m taking a quiz. Is the app able to tell that I’m doing that? I’m not even cheating but I don’t want to be accused of it if the app can. I know the normal website can show if you stop viewing the page…
I am a teacher and relative novice user of Canvas (<1yr). I noted a discrepancy between the Android-based Canvas user interface that of browser-based Canvas. The Android Canvas menu scheme has a selection for Notifications. Chrome or other browser-based Canvas user interfaces do not. This leaves me asking where the…
