When you use Canvas to provide instructional materials, engage students in activities, or assess student understanding, Canvas gathers data about it. Using built-in dashboards, you can easily access a variety of data and see how students are engaging with your Canvas course site. This kind of data is a good starting place to identify indicators of success or challenges in your courses. Combined with other sources of student feedback, data can become information you can actively use to support student success.
In this webinar you will learn how to access various types of Canvas data, what they do and don’t mean, and how to supplement that data to paint a fuller picture of your course.
This event aligns with the following IUSM Academy of Teaching Scholars program competencies: Instructional Technology (IT)
