What does "participation" actually measure under New Analytics? It doesn't seem as though it's page views since that value can be vastly different than the participation number. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Hi @SteveDwinnells,
I think the he Analytics Page Views and Participations - Instructure Community page has the info you're looking for. In simplest terms, a participation is when a student actively creates something (a discussion post, submits an assignment/quiz, etc). Passive things like a page view are not generally viewed as participation.
Hope this helps!

I'm hunting around trying to find out if "Mark as done" is tracked anywhere.... Hoping that it might be a "Participation" under New Analytics, but it does not appear this is the case? Does anyone know if it's possible for instructors to check in on students' "Mark as done" statuses?
When viewing a student submission, "Error while processing or retrieving the document" is shown in Speedgrader. The PDF can be read when downloaded, but this slows grading time down a lot. What can I tell the student to do differently? Is this a known bug?
Does anyone have suggestions for bulk aligning questions at the quiz level, not the item bank level? I don't know much about API keys, but would one of these work for a bulk alignment? We have a school that is preparing for accreditation next year and they must get their quiz questions aligned to outcomes. We know they…
The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
