I am looking to see if anyone here has found a way to pull a report out of Canvas Analytics that would give me just a list of courses in [TERM] that aren't using or updating their gradebooks?
Hi @cwarren5,
I don't know of a simple single solution to this, and the question may actually be more complex than you realize at first... You'd probably need to define exactly what you mean by aren't using or updating the gradebook... Does that mean the grades area has to be visible to students? Does it mean all assignments have to be listed in the gradebook? Does it mean any weighing or other calculations need to be 100% accurate in Canvas? How often does a gradebook need to be counted (once a week, once a month, etc)... What you would need to do to find this data would depend on the answers to these (and possibly other) questions. In some cases, it may not even be possible to assess things until final grades are due (for example, to check accuracy of the grades in Canvas, as there is no way to know whether things are correct without having something else to compare against).
If you can let us know some of the answers to things above, someone may be able to suggest some approaches you could take to get the data.

One idea with Admin Analytics would be to filter for the given term and then go to the Courses tab. Click on the Grades bar graph to see and download a full list of all the courses that have at least one grade for one student. Next, go over to the far left to the bar that is the highest - probably Files. Download this sheet as well and using Excel remove all the courses in your Files download that are also in Grades. This should leave you with active courses using Files but not grades....not automatic, but it should work.
How do I upload a student's assignment submission to a Canvas assignment when it was sent to me via email?
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
