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)

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)
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…
