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.

We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
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…
