Laptop is bulky in the personal-item, under the seat, world of current travel. Which tablet (iOS, no Android) is best for using Canvas to its greatest functionality most approximate to a laptop? Thank you
Hi @MaryCatherine,
Since you have said iOS only, that pretty much narrows you down to iPads. From the Canvas point of view, I don't think there will be much difference between the different iPad models as long as they continue to be supported by Apple. If you buy an older generation device (usually less cost), it will likely stop being supported sooner than a brand new model that just came out. This is true of any computing device, but especially tablets and phones.
One thing I will caution you on is that there are some things that don't work well with the Canvas apps and/or the Safari browser, which would currently be the only options for accessing Canvas from an iPad. It may work well for a quick trip where you don't have much to do in your courses, but I'm not sure I'd recommend relying solely on an iPad for all of your courses without at least checking wiht your school first.
Hope this helps.

Among all the things that I wish Canvas had is that one! Is it something that is been worked on? We had it in Blackboard (legacy) and I sorely miss and need in Canvas (we just transitioned to it from Bb). Please add this very needed feature!
I have Canvas set to drop the lowest quiz score, however, my students can only barely tell that the grade text is slightly grey when dropped. Can it have a tag like the "missing" and "exempt" ones in the student gradebook?
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
