Hi @amy-hillin,
Welcome to the Instructure Community, it's great to have you here. I could be wrong, but I'm fairly certain that parent observers don't have access to see any kind of login/activity history for their observees. You'd probably want to reach out to the local school/institution to see if there is anything they'd be willing to provide you along those lines, as it's generally an administrative task to access info like that.
I hope this info helps!

As said by @chriscas, this is something that observers (parents) do not have direct access to unless a school has developed some sort of customized way of obtaining it.
If they have not developed something in-house, you would need to ask your school's Canvas team and ask them to review the login and logout activity for your child/student as described in the https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Admin-Guide/How-do-I-view-login-and-logout-activity-for-a-user-in-an-account/ta-p/229 support article. They might also be able to provide you with data related to page views (https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Admin-Guide/How-do-I-view-the-page-views-for-a-user-in-an-account/ta-p/93) and course access reports (https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-the-course-access-report-for-an-individual-user/ta-p/754).
I hope you found this information helpful.

I teach a music history class that heavily uses embedded audio. I'd like to be able to keep the time stamp active on the media player so that students can more easily follow along. It'd also be nice to just reduce the player to the controls and progress bar, but that's less important to me. Is there api access, or a…
Hi all, Faculty at our institution have asked whether a concluded course can be added back to the Dashboard after it has moved to Past Enrollments. What we've verified so far (admin, tested via Act as User on a faculty account): Active enrollments: the star in Courses > All Courses works normally — tooltip reads "Click to…
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…
