Will Canvas work on my mobile phone? Canvas is built on open web standards and uses minimal instances of Flash, so most features are supported on mobile devices. With the growing use of mobile devices, instructors should build their courses with best practices for mobile in mind. Mobile Browsers You can access Canvas through mobile browsers on the following supported platforms: iPhone/iPod Touch, Android, WebOS, Blackberry, and Windows Phone. Mobile Applications We are actively improving our native mobile applications to support as many Canvas features as possible. Instructure currently has two native mobile phone applications free for download: • Canvas by Instructure—for iOS6+ and Android devices • Canvas for iOS—for iOS 5 devices (only supported for a limited time; view the details) Learn more about these apps in the Canvas guides: • Canvas Mobile Phone Guide for Students, Instructors, and Admin
