Need help urgently!Our orientation program needs to track student progress across different modules in Canvas. Has anyone used Canvas to monitor completion and engagement in a detailed way?Would love some tips 🙂
I'm reading this as unit of learning modules rather than Canvas modules.
You can set high level outcomes at account or sub-account level and deploy these via Rubrics into individual Canvas courses.Â
The outcomes will then report at both module and (sub) account levels.
Hey! Yeah I faced the same issue man when I was trying to track student progress in our orientation, but I figured out a few tricks that really helped.Â
So, there’s this thing called Module Requirements that’s a lifesaver. You can set it up so students actually have to go through each part of the module—like watch a vid or click “done” on stuff—before they can move on.Â
And then, there’s this View Progress option in the module settings. Go in there, hit “View Progress,” and you get this easy view of who’s done what. It’s super handy for spotting anyone who’s falling behind.
If you’re into tracking a bit more, try New Analytics (if you’ve got it in your Canvas). It lets you see who’s clicking on what.. gives a decent sense of who’s actually engaging.
Last tip would be umm—Canvas has this Inbox feature where you can shoot out quick reminders. If you notice someone hasn’t done a section, just drop them a message like, “Hey, noticed you’re missing this part—need any help?”
Hope this helps, man! Let me know if you need more tips; I’ve spent wayyyyy too much time messing around with Canvas!!!
 Ah, I see what you’re saying about high-level outcomes —that’s actually super helpful. Appreciate the tip man, I’ll give it a go!
I teach middle school and my students have recently discovered the ability to play the "what-if" game with grades. They are now obsessed and are playing with it all the time. For the preservation of their sanity I would like to turn it off but don't want to hide their course grade. Is there a way to do so? PLEASE HELP!!…
Hello, we are new to Canvas this school year and have encountered a roadblock. I’m curious whether any other K–12 schools here are experiencing the same issue or have found a solution. We have several high school teachers who use total points with weight and adjust their weights midyear. Our courses are set up as a single…
I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
