I'm posting videos on several Pages in my course for my students. If a student goes back to watch the video a second time, will Canvas record that the student watched the video two times?
@BrendaRengers ...
This would depend on what video interface you are using within Canvas? Has your school/institution purchased Canvas Studio? (You would see a "Studio" icon in your far left-hand side global navigation menu of Canvas.) If you have Studio, then you can see "insights" on who has watched your video and what parts have been viewed. However, if you don't have Studio, then this will be harder to gauge. You could go into a student's "Access Report" screen to see the number of page views for the page that the video was linked/embedded on, but this doesn't guarantee that the student watched the video on the page...only that the student accessed the page.
@BrendaRengers ,
In addition to the information provided to you by @Chris_Hofer about Canvas Studio, if you do have Canvas Studio you will easily be able to track student engagement and watch analytics / insights.
To my knowledge, Canvas Studio will not directly report that the student watched the video two times, however it will present to you how much of the video they watched. Now, when it comes to a scenario where the student watches the video once, and only watched half way through, but then watches it again a second time but this time the whole way through, the only thing that the Insights will show are updates of how much the student watched, not the actual amount of times they viewed it, if that makes any sense? However, if you're just uploading a file to your course, then canvas studio engagement isn't applicable in this circumstance and the best way to track how many times they viewed it would be through access reports, as Chris was talking about above.
Hope this helps, too.

The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…

This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
