Courses published report

How can I report on which courses have been published in a specific time period, in order to monitor if people are hitting publication deadlines?

Ideally I'd like to select the date range and get back a list of those courses.

Is there a report that does this?

Thanks!

Have you tried using the Course Audit Log API endpoint? It looks like when a course is published is one of the events that is reported on with this endpoint. It also allows you to specify a start date and end date to check between.

There is the ability to view this data for a single course at a time in the Canvas Admin Tools, but it doesn't look like they provide an option to search an entire account. How do I view course activity for an account?

Hi @lmcbain

Unfortunately, the date that a course's status was changed is not something that is recorded in the course record, so it is not somethings that appears in any of the reports that can be generated by Canvas.

When we were tracking this information back during the height of COVID, I was basically generating a new provisioning report every week and storing it, so that we could compare fro one week to the next which course had been published that week.

You might be able to build a report using Live Events that'll tell you that.

Does anybody know if this report could be generated at intervals with Canvas Data 2.0? We're yet to start exploring it.

Issues with Discussion Checkpoints
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic".
