Need help urgently!Our orientation program needs to track student progress across different modules in Canvas. Has anyone used Canvas to monitor completion and engagement in a detailed way?Would love some tips 🙂
I'm reading this as unit of learning modules rather than Canvas modules.
You can set high level outcomes at account or sub-account level and deploy these via Rubrics into individual Canvas courses.Â
The outcomes will then report at both module and (sub) account levels.
Hey! Yeah I faced the same issue man when I was trying to track student progress in our orientation, but I figured out a few tricks that really helped.Â
So, there’s this thing called Module Requirements that’s a lifesaver. You can set it up so students actually have to go through each part of the module—like watch a vid or click “done” on stuff—before they can move on.Â
And then, there’s this View Progress option in the module settings. Go in there, hit “View Progress,” and you get this easy view of who’s done what. It’s super handy for spotting anyone who’s falling behind.
If you’re into tracking a bit more, try New Analytics (if you’ve got it in your Canvas). It lets you see who’s clicking on what.. gives a decent sense of who’s actually engaging.
Last tip would be umm—Canvas has this Inbox feature where you can shoot out quick reminders. If you notice someone hasn’t done a section, just drop them a message like, “Hey, noticed you’re missing this part—need any help?”
Hope this helps, man! Let me know if you need more tips; I’ve spent wayyyyy too much time messing around with Canvas!!!
 Ah, I see what you’re saying about high-level outcomes —that’s actually super helpful. Appreciate the tip man, I’ll give it a go!
Here is a screenshot from an attempt to create a new Athena account. What does it mean when it says "supports open Canvas connections" or "Canvas Connection Open"? Can we close our Canvas instance to connections?
Is having students read the textbook considered an assignment or an activity if there is no grade but a required date?
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…
