Access Analytics

Analytics evaluate individual components of all the courses in your account and provide an overview of your account's activity.

Analytics takes a three pronged approach to creating substantive data for Canvas users.

Justification focuses on system reports and how the system is being used.

Intervention looks to predict which students will become at-risk students and and how to meet their needs.

Learning focuses on learning outcomes, the effectiveness of the teaching style, and the division of time between students achieving competence and those falling behind.

As an Account Admin, you can see the Analytics for the entire account. This way you can track and analyze what students, teachers, observers, and/or designers are doing within the account.

Where can you access analytics?

You can find account analytics...

1. From the Statistics Tab
If you click on "Statistics" tab on the left-hand navigation menu, you'll see a button on the right called "View Analytics". This can be accessed at the root account, as well as, at the sub-account levels. (Of course, the analytics at the sub-account will only evaluate data from that sub-account).

2. From the Courses Tab
If you click on "Courses" tab on the left-hand navigation menu, you'll also see the same button on the right called "View Analytics".

3. Within an Individual Course
If you want to view analytics for a specific course (and the course has been published), you can go into the course site and click on the "view analytics" button from the home page.

4. By Student, Within an Individual Course
From the analytics page within a course, you can drill down further to a specific student to view his or her analytics in that course.
