I am trying to evaluate students based on their 'likes' of different discussion board postings. Canvas's documentation indicated that all of a student's activity with a course site is recorded. I have figured out how to access student activity using the scripts provided here:
https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Higher-Ed-Canvas-Users/Obtaining-and-using-Access-Report-data-for-an-entire-course/ba-p/264333
However, it's not clear to me if or how 'likes' are recorded. Does anyone know?
I suspect not @mikeg, but you could do some testing. I don't know whether peer reviewing an assignment submission counts either :- see

Several actions define participation in Canvas and collectively describe events where a user takes an action within a course. We track participations for both students and instructors, and we report participations in Canvas Course Analytics for just student participations.

1) ask your Canvas Managers to add test students to allow you to check the behaviour of the system whilst using an incognito browser to log in as a test student (a good thing to have available)

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…
