Helpful Hints
If you're looking to learn more about how to utilize the iPad in your coursework, explore the topics below. These quick tutorials can get you up and running with using the iPad to it's fullest potential. We want to help you navigate new workflow and encourage your creative light to shine!
Adjusting Settings in Safari
When accessing Canvas on your iPad, we recommend using Safari as your web browser for the best experience. The Canvas app is okay to use, but often times the app will not display all course information related to assignments such as discussion boards and publisher materials. We recommend using the Canvas app for quizzes and tests, but use the web browser for everything else. By default, there are settings in Safari that will block 3rd party applications such as publisher materials or the textbook. These settings need to be adjusted for the best experience using Safari.
In the Safari settings be sure to toggle OFF the following: 1) block popup's 2) prevent cross-website tracking 3) block all cookies. See the video below for additional support.
