Canvas Observer Viewing Grades on a Smartphone |
The best access for the Canvas Observer on a smartphone is logging in from the browser, not using the Canvas Parent app. While the Canvas Parent app will show you grades, logging in to your Canvas Observer from the browser on your smartphone provides far more information than just grades.
