How is the “Total Activity” time that’s shown on the people page in Canvas calculated. Is it based on total interaction time on pages? How does “hang time” between interactions get taken into account? If at all.
@bwalters , this is explained in How do I use the People page as an instructor? . Under the View Users section, you'll see the legend for #7, Total Activity:
Total Activity [7]—allows you to see how long students interact within a course and is associated with page views. Total activity time is displayed in hours:minutes:seconds. If a user has not yet reached an hour of activity, total activity time is displayed as minutes:seconds. Total activity requires a two-minute page view minimum for performance. Total Activity does not capture page views for videos that do not include intermediate page requests, such as a half-hour recorded lecture.
Is it still true that activity that takes place within the Mobile app is not documented in these numbers at all? This is becoming a bigger and bigger issue as students are using the mobile apps more and more. How do we know (when and how much) if a student is using the app?
Trying to figure out if Canvas records last activity every time a computer is woken up from sleep mode. Student says he was not on Canvas and yet it shows "last activity" during an exam.
how do I see what pages were accessed?
I also have this question, but specific to how far back does that total activity go? Is it for the past week, for example, or is total activity since the beginning of the course? Can we change this setting overall to show how much students have been active, say, for the past 7 days?
Thanks!
Breakout Discussions would enable instructors to orchestrate multi-phase discussions that mirror effective classroom facilitation patterns. An instructor creates a master discussion topic, then segments participants into small breakout groups for focused conversation, and finally reconvenes everyone into a unified thread…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
Among all the things that I wish Canvas had is that one! Is it something that is been worked on? We had it in Blackboard (legacy) and I sorely miss and need in Canvas (we just transitioned to it from Bb). Please add this very needed feature!
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
