Does anyone know how an instructor can audit course Announcements to confirm they were distributed to enrolled students?
Hi @ChrisDavis
Can you clarify what you mean by "distributed"? Announcements are posted in the course. The "Student View" will allow the instructor to see if the announcement is currently visible to students.
Whether or not students receive any kind of notification that a new announcement has been posted in the course--and when and how they receive that notification--depends on the students' own Canvas notification settings.
Hi @ChrisDavis ...
In addition to the information you got from @mzimmerman, there is also an access report that you can view for each student in your course. It would show you the number of times announcements were viewed:
How do I view the course access report for an individual user?
In addition, there may be some data you could get out of New Analytics (specifically in the "Weekly Online Activity" tab):
I hope this extra bit of info will be useful for you. Let Community members know if you have any questions...thanks!
Thank you both @mzimmerman @Chris_Hofer for the incredibly prompt replies! I am acting on the behalf of an instructor's request, and should have been more specific on using the term distribution (my newbie stripes are showing 🙂
Yes, the student view should prove sufficient for them to confirm the Announcement went out. I will spend some time looking into New Analytics and relay what I find to the instructor.
I think what they are after is a tell-all report indexing the where, what, and when of all students' activities in a course, and that may not be possible based on other topics I reviewed. At best, I would imagine this would be accomplished using API, but it is not the sort of personalized solution I'd want to support indefinitely.
Hello, I have a number of assignments that require students to complete peer reviews. Because my course is self-paced and students are progressing at different rates, I created completed sample submissions using the Test Student account so that students would always have a submission available to review. However, when I go…
Hi, I can't get this working right. I've created outcomes where the calculation method is to meet mastery twice. I've aligned them to several assignments. The grade book displays mastery as met when it's only been achieved on one of the assignments. It's not showing positive or negative for the other assignments. (I've…
Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
