Hello Cara Spicer ,

You can! It called an "access report".

Go to the people tab and choose the students name. You will see this option listed there.

Here's the Canvas Guide: https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-10162-415241458

Hi, @heather_stockfo 

In the Access Report, It seems that there are only download times of course files. Can the assignment submitted by students be traced？For example the PDF of assignement 1.

The Access Report indicates how many times a student viewed an item AND give the "Last Viewed" date. Is there anyway to see the view history? For example, I want to know when the student FIRST viewed this document.
