I can access all of my course materials on the app on my phone, but when I try using my laptop the course will not show up.
Colton,
My guess is that when you access Canvas on a computer the view is defaulting to the "To-Do List" view. In this view instead of showing links to your courses the content is displayed based on assignment due dates and the like. If your instructors have not put due dates on things, don't have assignments, or there is just nothing coming up in the next few days you might not see much.
Try clicking the Courses button on the left side of Canvas and see if your courses are listed. This is one way to access your courses directly, even if they are not showing in your Dashboard. Better yet, you can change your default view in the web interface to Card View which will make it look more similar to what you are seeing in the mobile app. To change the view click the Kabob icon (3 dots) in the upper right corner of Canvas and select Card View.
I'm also including a few links below which might help.
How do I view my favorite courses in the Card View Dashboard as a student?
How do I use the to-do list for all my courses in the List View Dashboard as a student?
How do I view all my Canvas courses as a student?

I have the opposite situation. I can see my course on my computer but not my tablet. The basic functionality is just not there. On my tablet I've logged out, cleared cookies, restarted, logged back in. Still the same nonsense. It actually shows two courses I'm not even enrolled in.
I can not access my timetable on my course in the my programme course
We are testing a third party integration from our college's ERP provider. We have connected it to our test environment. It seems to have very few features and options. So, just wondering if there is a way to monitor API calls. I was able to use the DAPClient in Python to download canvas_logs in our production environment.…
I'm an instructor. I know how to reorder quizzes in Assignments (I grab the 8-dot 'drag handle'). But how do I reorder quizzes in Quizzes? Thanks!
Previously on the built-in rubrics, vertical view, the rubric items were collapsed. You could expand them to see details of each point value. Now they are expanded by default and I see no way to collapse them. When a teacher is grading 20 of the same assignment, he or she knows what each point value entails. By having them…
As "Ideas" section is gone (at least for now), I'm posting a feature request here. Mobile app shows a list of students who have submitted or not submitted a quiz/assignment. Would be good to have this in web version as well as way to export csv.
Could you please clarify about the URL structure for the new Canvas Portfolio feature after the retirement of the ePortfolios on June 30, 2026?
