Canvas - How do I see student activity and participation in a course?
There are a couple of different areas in Canvas that can help check student's activity and participation in a course.
People tab
Students that are enrolled through the WINGS sync will be active in the Canvas course. When they drop a course, the enrollment will show inactive.
The people page also shows the last time the student was active in the course (date and time) along with the total course activity.
From the people page, you can also navigate to the course access report for an individual user. Next to the student's name select the three vertical dots and User Details. From that page select Access Report.
New Analytics
New Analytics can be found in two places in Canvas. It's always located in the top right of the course homepage and can be enabled in the course navigation. In New Analytics you can see students course grades, weekly online activity, and students participation and page views.
