Update (November 21, 2024) 📣:
We’ve heard your requests and are excited to announce that the deadline to provide feedback has been extended to 15th of December 2024. Take advantage of this opportunity to let us know how we can make the Canvas Parent App even better! Thank you
Tl;dr – We are looking for input from observers to improve the communication between the school and the families through the Canvas Parent App. Canvas Parent App notification is in our crosshair.
Why we are doing
Our goal is to alleviate the communication challenges faced by institutions while empowering parents with the information they need to best support their students. If your Institution uses parent/family observers in Canvas, here is the opportunity to influence the future of the Canvas Parent App.
Our Canvas Parent App currently supports Inbox messages and a custom set of alerts where the Schools, Instructors and the Observers can communicate with each other. We would like to enrich the notification to best meet the needs of everyone involved. In order to collect the valuable feedback we are kindly asking you to share our survey with the families you are connected with.
How the Survey works
If you are a parent of a Canvas student, you can 👉 Click here and start the survey.
If you are an Admin or Instructor at your Institution and you are connected with families, we kindly ask you to distribute the survey within your internal network. Here is an example global announcement that admin could send to “observers” to get their input directly:
Attention Parents/Families: The Canvas Mobile team is very interested in learning more about the experience for observers in the Canvas Parent App.
If you could spare 10 minutes to participate in this survey to provide your valuable insights, it would truly be appreciated and would help guide development of the Canvas Parent App in the future.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
We look forward to reviewing the survey results and determining the best path forward for communication in the Canvas Parent App. Based on the results, we will design features in the Parent App. We'll then review any new designs with users (volunteers from the survey) and develop a finalized version based on the feedback we receive.
Thank you for your continued support and participation in our surveys to make the Canvas Mobile App even more useful. Your feedback consistently helps us in improving our services and ensuring customer satisfaction. We are grateful to have you as a valued contributor to our research!
