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.
Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
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…
