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.

Hi everyone, It looks like the multiple rubric idea has bounced around a bit with the different feature request methodologies over the years, including a mention in New & Next 2024 according to this post, interviews in the enhanced rubrics features group, being listed as "under consideration" on the new roadmap, and this…
We are using the Learning Mastery Gradebook with an rubric on account-level. When we enter the gradebook, the sorting does not make any sense. How can we make the sorting so it makes sense to us. It feels like a randam sorting.
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
