CANVAS OFFLINE
Students who do not have internet access at home may download their Canvas courses to a computer or an iPhone from an available internet connection. Once downloaded, students can take the course offline without an internet connection. After students have completed the assignments in their course(s) offline, they will need to find a location to connect to the internet (i.e. school parking lot ) so assignments will be uploaded for teachers to assess.
