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.
If you are prepared to live with the carnage that is user controlled course creation, then there are existing reports at sub account level that can be run to get a course listing, including course storage report, and course activity report. You can filter the latter by role which will then give you the IDs and names of sites that your colleagues are adding.

Our college would like to disable the Core Canvas tool "Syllabus" by default, so that it automatically doesn't show on Course Navigation menus. Is that possible? A fellow admin asked our CSM about disabling Syllabus by default, but the CSMs may be understandably busy at the moment. Below I rounded up some past comments…
Does anyone have suggestions for bulk aligning questions at the quiz level, not the item bank level? I don't know much about API keys, but would one of these work for a bulk alignment? We have a school that is preparing for accreditation next year and they must get their quiz questions aligned to outcomes. We know they…
The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
