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)
Known issue - headings Just wanted to note that this known issue is described as 'styling', when it is actually an accessibility issue. Headings are structure on the page and essential for users who rely on screenreaders.
I've seen old posts regarding this question. Can Admin users generate pairing codes on behalf of students?
It is possible to import tags or other metadata when importing in a QTI file? I've tried everything I can think of, but it seems to get stripped out every time. Are any metadata types allowed? I can bring in a batch of tags questions or manually tag each one. Tagging each one is not an option. I'm using New Quizzes, so I…
I'm testing whether Mastery Paths can be used to give students early access to an item based on their score, while making the same item available to everyone else on a later date. Here is my setup: A 4-point assignment is the source for the Mastery Path. Students scoring 75–100% are assigned a Solutions item. The Solutions…
I am a physics teacher at a high school. I love to use the random generation of formula questions to give each student a unique quiz/test. However, units in physics are extremely important. In the past I have also used Moodle as an LMS and they included a feature that could grade the units listed after the numerical…
