What Kind of Equipment Do I Need to Use Canvas?

Canvas is the Learning Mangement System (LMS) used by Community College of Philadelphia to deliver course materials. Before using Canvas, you want to make sure that you have the proper equipment. 

Here is a link from Instructure (the company that owns Canvas) which shows the requirements for devices to use Canvas.

Remember that although Canvas will work on a mobile device, we do not recommend submitting assignments or taking quizzes on a mobile device. If you believe that you have submitted an assignment or quiz using a mobile device, but the assignment or quiz has not been submitted, there is no way to retrieve the assignment or quiz.

You will also need a reliable internet connection.  The Internet Essentials Links to an external site. program may help you with your wireless needs.

  For the summer sessions, if you do not have a PC, the college will have loaners available. Please let your instructor and/or advisor know if you need a laptop.
