Unless otherwise changed as the landing page, the app defaults to the Dashboard and displays your groups and favorite courses.
To favorite a course, tap the Edit link.
Tap the star next to the course you want to favorite.
Note: Changes to your favorite courses will also apply to the browser version of Canvas.
You can change the nickname and color associated with your courses. Course colors help associate course items in other areas of the Canvas Student app, such as in the To Do List and Notifications.
To change the nickname or color for a course, tap the Options icon.
To change the course nickname, tap the Nickname field [1]. To change the course color, tap the new color for your course [2].
To save your changes, tap the Done link [3].
To open a course, tap the course name.
Within each course, you will be able to view the course navigation links that are available in the browser version of Canvas.
Note:
iPad functionality mimics the web version of Canvas, allowing Course Navigation to be expanded or collapsed for full-screen course viewing. To expand or collapse the Course Navigation menu, tap the Expand icon.
