Our administration is looking for a report we can run per term for instructors access to Canvas and each course they instruct. Logins and possible access to and interaction in the course.
I know that Canvas can save how many hours each instructor spent in each course:
I do not know what access you have in your Canvas.
In the past, a school I taught for would have the department chair added to every course as another instructor, so she could keep tabs on things. She would accumulate the information about how many hours the instructor spent in each course.
A word of caution: I was once called out for my claim that I spent all summer building a course, but Canvas showed that I had spent very little time in the course that semester. This was because I had copied the course from the template I spent all summer building into the shell for that semester. My boss did not check the template that I might have deleted before she asked. I did not even remember the template for several days; I was mystified as to why I had spent so little time in that course.
@gumbelj If you check sub account reports you will find that you can run an activity report for one month. There may be improved reporting as Admin Analytics is refined, but you could get your dev team to look at this alongside API and data warehousing solutions. https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Resource-Documents/Canvas-Default-Account-Reports/ta-p/387054
The User Course Access Log report shows all the activity from users enrolled in all courses in a given term. The times viewed and times participated are counted from the beginning of time until the time the report was generated. A maximum of one month's data will be retrieved. By default, it will return data from the beginning of the previous week.
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
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…
I wonder if others have had this response, but I think it is troubling messaging for students that, no matter how well they may do on an assignment, they are given a signal that anything below a perfect score should be marked/denoted with a red color, as if those grades are poor, or even lesser. I think it is harmful for…
