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.
A teacher at my school set up her coursework category to "Drop the lowest score" in both Canvas and PowerSchool (we use both). At the end of the semester, 13 of her 78 students had different percentages, with 8 of those being corner cases, resulting different letter grades. And all of those scores were higher in Canvas. I…
I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
In the "How do I use the Learning Mastery Gradebook" page, under "Student scores" (https://community.instructure.com/en/kb/articles/660932-how-do-i-use-the-learning-mastery-gradebook-to-view-outcome-results-in-a-course#view-student-scores), the displayed gradebook shows a little colorful square and also points for each…
