Couldn’t have timed it better? I hate to say it, but it’s true. In the days before the UCET 2020, where this presentation was shared, there was a lot of debate as to whether or not the conference would go on. Thankfully it did, but unfortunately the COVID-19 virus continued to spread and our state closed all schools for what has now become the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year.
As a result, more students than ever are accessing Canvas courses and content from their phones and tablets. Therefore, to support teachers making the shift to remote learning, the “Mobilize Learning with Canvas Mobile Apps” presentation has been produced as a screencast. In this video you’ll learn:
- How to modify and adjust Canvas pages to look best on a small screen
- Create discussions that leverage multimedia
- Set up assignments that utilize the devices phone to capture student work
- Build quizzes (Classic and New) that will function best in the Canvas apps
- Use modules to organize and chunk activities for simpler navigation
So breath, watch, reflect, and contact us at uen.org/development if you need further support or training on using the Canvas Student, Teacher, and Parent Apps.

UCET PRESENTATION, March 10th, 10:15 AM
Ballroom C
As of last week 107,646 students at seventeen Utah High Ed Institutions, and 72,279 K-12 students across the 100 LEA’s in the state of Utah are accessing their online learning materials through the Canvas Mobile App.
But how many educators are designing their course content in Canvas to work well in the mobile environment? My guess is a very low percentage. This is based simply on the fact that many of the teachers I work with didn’t know that there was a Canvas Application available to their learners.
In this presentation you’ll see six tips for making your Canvas Content more “Mobile Friendly” along with some tips and tricks for meeting your learners on their phones and tablets.
The slideshow above can also be accessed through this Google Drive Folder along with all of the images and videos included. Please make a copy of this content and use it as you need to in your schools and learning communities. You can also request this training for your school via our UEN website – https://www.uen.org/development/request.php
That was fun. I like Arizona Educators, you guys are great! Thank you for having me in beautiful Tempe. My trip has been a delight. Hiking up Hayden Butte to the top of “A Mountain” was fun last night. In the near future I will have to return to spend more time on Mill Avenue in search of the perfect taco. And Fuzzy’s will be my first stop! Thank you for the advice.
Thank you eRepublic and the North Carolina Digital Government Summit Advisory Board for the invitation to visit and present yesterday. It was a pleasure to visit your beautiful state and the city of Raleigh. As a former Marylander I’m always happy to revisit the East Coast for some southern hospitality and decent seafood! St. Roch’s on Wilmington Street did NOT disappoint.
The “Mixed Reality for Education” in person class will provide educators with a sampling of emerging technologies including both augmented reality applications for portable devices, and a mix of virtual reality applications. By the end of the two day experience each participant will have learned the benefits of using 3-D enhanced resources to engage students. Through this understanding, each participant will also create and share a “redefined” classroom lesson that includes AR and/or VR student experiences.
