I am aware that Canvas offers a limited analytics suite for courses. I am also aware that you can track the course time spent per student. We would like to average how long it takes our students to complete our courses, but as far as I can tell, ther...

This is what I currently see, but we do not have that feature enable and it would be highly needed to pull attendance reports across different courses. Many thank in advance. Guido Reverdito  

The issue -- we currently pull reports from the api/v1/reports several times a day, and the person who is responsible for those jobs that has complained to me on multiple occasions that they take a long time and often get stuck or fail, because of th...
