Submit assignments and files. When submitting multiple files or submitting lengthy (i.e. report) text, you are better off using a laptop or desktop computer's web browser, such as Chrome. This is also the best way to review your submissions and ensure our instructor can view your submission.

Participate in discussion forum. Discussions can be difficult to view and navigate on a small screen. We recommend using a laptop or desktop computer and the Chrome browser for this activity so that you can find discussion forum prompt for writing your reply to the discussion.

Take a Canvas Quiz/Exam. Because most quizzes/exams are worth a lot of points and you usually only get one chance to complete them, we recommend only using the Chrome web browser on a laptop or desktop computer for the best experience.
