Hi! I would like to track course created by a number of teachers without having to access each one of them. Is there analytics are for it please? Any tips?
@RosieHeinsius As far as I am aware, there isn't a built-in report or dashboard in Canvas that shows you recently created courses and who created them. If you are an admin and know how to use the Canvas API, you could pull a list of courses, pull the course details, and then filter for what you are specifically looking for.
Hi @RosieHeinsius ,
I am too much of a control freak to delegate the responsibility for course creation, even if my current institution allowed it, I would prefer that the right to create is reserved to admin with some sort of request log in place - this also gives you a degree of control over consistency of titles, codes etc.

You can filter the latter by role which will then give you the IDs and names of sites that your colleagues are adding.

Yes, it is still a CSV. I've tried removing all symbols…
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
