Course Analytics

Analytics displays current class performance and engagement. Learn how to view analytics data in Canvas.

Access Course Analytics

Access Course Analytics from the Canvas course menu. The Analytics data is refreshed every 24 hours so it will not show the latest data.

If the item is not visible in the course menu, go to Settings > Navigation and move Course Analytics to ‘above the line’. See: Instructor guide: How to I manage Course Navigation links?

You can compare the course average with an individual assignment, course section, or student filter using the chart graph comparison or data table comparison.

Click the Assignment ‘dot’ or Quiz ‘dot’ to view the grades distribution and number of missing/late submissions.
From the Average Course Grade, teachers can quickly message students who were missing/late or achieved specific criteria (e.g., 0% to 50%).
You can filter students by adding ‘sections’ (e.g., L01, B02, T03 etc.). See Sections and Groups in Canvas.
Teachers in the course can message students based on criteria within the section.

Figure 1: Clicking the Quiz dot opens a popup with a message students button.

Figure 2: Adding sections to the analytics display filters students by section.

You can view average weekly online participation analytics as an interactive chart graph or a data table.

Compare the course average weekly online participation analytics with an individual student or section using the chart graph comparison or data table comparison.
