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.
The following student actions will generate analytics course participation:
You've two options
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)
2) add a colleague as a student, put them in a seperate section to allow you to set activities and discussions specific to them without sharing with all students, then do your testing
a third, more preferable, option is to check the behaviour in a Canvas free account (Try Canvas Free-for-Teacher) or a parallel institutuonal account (if your institution has signed up for one)
Is the Submitted date and time the moment when the button was pressed, or the moment when the quiz uploaded into the system?
Is there a way for the grading rubric to have a default selection set? I have a rubric that checks if a student has mastered a learning objective at the end of the semester (yes or no) and most students are 'yes'. It is tedious to click yes 10 times per student in each class. Can the rubric auto generate a 'yes' and I can…
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…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
In legacy SpeedGrader, the instructors see students' initial post followed by replies. Why is it no longer listed that way in the Modernized SpeedGrader? Grading is made easier if the initial post is first, making it easily identifiable.
