The Guardian (Observer) View in Cloud Canvas

Learn how to view student grades and course content in Cloud Canvas.

Note: Tools in Cloud Canvas are very similar to the tools in Enterprise Canvas, but the layout is a bit different, particularly the navigation placement.

While guardians and other observers can access the Canvas calendar and inbox, those features will be primarily utilized within StrongMind Central. 

Enterprise Layout vs. Cloud Layout

Access Cloud Canvas

• Log in and launch access to your Canvas dashboard from StrongMind Central. You can see who you are observing within the course card.

How to View Grades

From the Canvas dashboard, you can access your student's grades from within the course, or from the grades button. 

Within the Grade View, guardians can see each assignment, the due date (if added by the teacher), the status (late, missing, excused) and the score. 

They can also see indicators for teacher communication added to Speedgrader for that assignment. 

How to View Content

From the Canvas dashboard, select a course card.

Select Modules or Assignments.

Select an assignment you want to view.

In assignments with graded assessments, you can view the attempt data for the student you are observing.
