Blended Teaching works in the web browser on most laptops and desktops. It often works on phones and tablets too, as long as you open it in a browser and not in the Canvas app. This guide covers:

Troubleshooting
1. Devices
Blended is designed to be used on laptops and desktops, and most students use a laptop. Many also use their phone while on the move.
Phones and tablets aren't what Blended is designed for, but it often works on them without any issue. Open it in your phone or tablet's browser, such as Safari or Chrome.
You can't open Blended materials in the Canvas app on an iPhone or iPad. Open your browser instead (for example, Safari or Chrome), go to the Canvas website and open your course there.
2. Browsers
Blended works on all major operating systems and browsers for laptops and phones, including Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox.
We recommend Google Chrome for the best experience with Blended, Canvas and Blackboard. If a quiz uses Respondus LockDown Browser, open it in LockDown Browser instead: Chrome, Safari and Firefox cannot start that attempt.
3. Troubleshooting
3.1. Update your browser
If something isn't working, the most likely cause is a browser that isn't up to date. Here are the update instructions for the most common browsers:
3.2. The Canvas app
Blended materials can't be used through the Canvas app on a phone or tablet. Open the Canvas website in your device's browser instead, and your materials will open there.
3.3. iPad
On an iPad, the same applies: open Blended in a browser, not in the Canvas app.
