"Mobile First" is one of the newest terms in web-based application design. It indicates that a site or web application was written to display gracefully on both small-screened mobile devices and a large-screened desktop. Canvas and Cidi Design Tools are Mobile First. Students will see a pleasant, un-cluttered display no matter what device they use for Canvas. This page is meant to provide some examples to illustrate these applications' Mobile First design.
