Canvas Feature: New Analytics

New Analytics is a tool that you can enable in your settings to provide you with a daily data update. This tool can simplify data driven instruction for your schools. Your teachers can use these reports to inform instruction for the next week, to identify opportunities for intervention, and in discussions during PLCs or conferences.


* Currently, New Analytics allows instructors to track average course grades for student submissions using an interactive chart graph or table. Data is view only and cannot directly be modified. Page views and participation metrics include an aggregate across all devices, including Canvas mobile apps.


Use New Analytics to:

  • View average course grade analytics as an interactive chart graph or a data table.

  • Compare the course average with an individual assignment, course section, or student filter using the chart graph comparison or data table comparison.

  • 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.

  • Send a message to all students based on specific course grade or participation criteria.

  • Send a message to an individual student based on specific course grade or participation criteria.

  • View course grade and participation analytics for an individual student.

  • View and download reports on missing, late, or excused assignments, class roster, and course activity.

  • View a report that displays if students have met online attendance criteria that has been selected by an admin.


* Please note that New Analytics is under "feature preview" which means that opting in includes ongoing updates to the product.
