Communicating with Students through Canvas

Email or push notifications via app

Canvas still sends notifications for Announcements, Grades, and many other events. Users have the choice of getting email notifications or push notifications to a mobile device via the Canvas Teacher or Canvas Student apps. Users can also override account notification preferences by customizing notifications for a specific course. Faculty can encourage students who own a smartphone or tablet to install the Canvas Student app and enable the appropriate push notifications.
