Learning Analytics is the use of data to analyze student progress and performance, predict future performance, and advise student learning. Canvas offers tools and features that enable faculty to analyze student behaviors and improve delivery of instructional materials. Course statistics can be used to monitor student access to activities and resources in your course. Activity completion can be set for course assignments and resources to give students a clearer picture of their progress in a course and set prerequisites to restrict access. The gradebook provides faculty with tools to contact students according to certain criteria.
The Faculty Technology Center offers a self-paced, online workshop course where you can learn more about how to use Canvas tools and features to track student access and progress. Self-enroll using this link to the Canvas course.
