Is there an easy way to see if an instructor is using new quizzes? I am trying to compile a report on new quiz usage in our organization. Thanks.
If you have access to Canvas Data in a relational database, you could use a SQL query like the following. This includes every teacher enrolled in a course where there's some New Quizzes submission.
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT e.user_id) AS teachersFROM enrollment_dim eJOIN assignment_dim a ON a.course_id = e.course_id JOIN submission_dim s ON s.assignment_id = a.id JOIN external_tool_activation_dim t ON t.id = a.external_tool_idWHERE t.name = 'Quizzes 2' /* This is the tool's name in our Canvas Data table */AND s.submitted_at IS NOT NULL /* Filter to completed attempts */AND e.type = 'TeacherEnrollment' /* This gets custom roles as well as the built-in Teacher role */AND e.workflow_state = 'active'

Is having students read the textbook considered an assignment or an activity if there is no grade but a required date?
Hoping someone can explain for me.

If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
