With a lot a self-paces course work, is there a way to trigger an email when a student completes the course to the correct teacher?
Hi @ShawnHuff ,
I'm a CSM, part of the EMEA team. I came across such a similar request before but Canvas doesn’t have a built in “email when a student completes a course” feature, but there are several ways institutions have set this up.
Approaches that work well:
Module Requirements & Prerequisites – Many institutions make the last step of a course a “completion activity” (like a required short quiz or survey) and set it as the final requirement in the last module. Once that’s submitted, the teacher can be notified and its an easier way to filter out students who have completed the whole requirements and course.How do I add prerequisites to a module? How do I add requirements to a module?
API – Some institutions use this to detect when all module requirements are met and automatically send an email to the correct teacher. This option does require technical setup and would depend on the inhouse resources you have. Canvas has an open API which is great for integrations or getting data.Welcome to the Canvas LMS API DocumentationThis also was discussed in discussion regarding notifications on completion as mentioned by @james_whalley.
Cheers,

@ShawnHuff It looks like there was a discussion regarding notifications on completion a couple of years ago. Do I understand correctly that you want different instructors to be notified based on which students complete the course? I do not believe there is a direct way to do this. It might be possible by using code, the API, and some sort of database, but it is not part of Canvas' current functionality.
Hi all, we are seing as issue where if a student answers a questions within the quiz which has an acceptable alternative response, and the point is upgraded from 0/1 - 1/1 (and update is pressed with adjustment saved) When the student has a 2nd attempt the original 1st attempt incorrect answer which has been marked as…
I assigned the first draft of an assignment. Each student got rubric comments from me and from one peer. The Speed Grader view gives me a "Select Rubric" menu, allowing me to toggle between my comments and the peer comments. But the Gradebook's "Bulk Download Rubrics" command generates a CSV file with only the peers'…
Hi all, I'm looking to see if this has happened for anyone else. A student completed a Classic Quiz and one question was counted wrong that should not have been. In the quiz settings, the instructor entered 9 possible answers for this question. The student entered one of these answers. However, that particular question was…
Looking for the addition of partial credit for alternative format questions in Canvas, like ordering and category/matrix. We can only do it in close drop down, matching, and multiple response.
Has anyone found gaps in their course analytics ? I'm currently seeing missing last view date, last participation date, and participations at overall course level, even though the same data is present at individual week and student level. Am also seeing truncated asset counts ie we are seeing only the global header counts,…
