I'm new in my position and we are new to fully leveraging Canvas.
Let's say I want to run the following report: I want to know all the enrolled users in a term that haven't accessed a course in 10 days.
How could I find this information?
I'm new myself, but I have an idea on this one:
Admin > account > Settings > Reports > Last User Access > Configure on right side > Select Term > run Report
Download / Open file > Sort by Last Access Date > Delete rows which have logged on in the past 10 days > those that are leftover should be who you are looking for.
Please someone else correct me if I'm wrong, or if there's an easier method.
Since you are just getting started, I would recommend taking time to review the various account level reports. These reports are easy to run, don't require any additional set-up (other than making sure the appropriate users have permissions to access them), and provide a good starting point for Canvas Reporting. Depending on the question you are trying to answer, a single report may be all you need, or you can use VLOOKUPs/XLOOKUPs to combine data from multiple reports.
For the example you provided, you might consider using the Zero Activity report since it shows all enrollments for a term, where the student hasn't visited the course since the specified start time.
After taking some time working with the Canvas Default Account Reports, if you find other things you want to generate reports for that can't be easily done with them, I would recommend checking the Canvas Community to see if it has already been asked before. Someone else may have shared an approach for how they created a custom report that provides that information. If you don't see an answer for the type of report you are looking for, you can make a new post and someone may be able to make suggestions. Canvas Data and/or Canvas APIs are often used when looking to make a custom report.
Hi everyone, It looks like the multiple rubric idea has bounced around a bit with the different feature request methodologies over the years, including a mention in New & Next 2024 according to this post, interviews in the enhanced rubrics features group, being listed as "under consideration" on the new roadmap, and this…
I recently had an exam provided as a Canvas Quiz in my class, and used some questions copied from question banks from other sections and prior years of the course. Some of those questions had "General Answer Comment" text already saved in them. I changed that text in several questions as I updated/changed the questions.…
I would like to suggest improvements to how collaborations function within Canvas LMS. Currently, collaborations are somewhat limited in how they can be accessed and integrated into course content. One potential improvement would be allowing collaborations to be directly linkable within Pages and Modules. This would make…
We are using the Learning Mastery Gradebook with an rubric on account-level. When we enter the gradebook, the sorting does not make any sense. How can we make the sorting so it makes sense to us. It feels like a randam sorting.
Can Canvas please create the option to use a "total points" system such that both the gradebook and the student grades page can show accumulated total points, not as a fraction of total points earned/total points possible? This would be SO helpful for progress tracking in a self-paced course where I do not want 0s entered…
