[ARCHIVED] Canvas traceability

[soniacasillas2]

How does Canvas keep track of student activity? How do I know when and how long a participant enters the platform? What is the function of Dropout Detective?

Hi there, @soniacasillas2 ...

I'm tagging @Chris_Munzo in hopes that he'll be able to help answer any questions you have about Dropout Detective.

Thanks @Chris_Hofer and nice to meet you @soniacasillas2 .  Dropout Detective retrieves data from Canvas every night and automatically identifies struggling or at-risk students.  We allow school users to see how a student is doing across all courses on one screen.  It's really relevant for academic advisors and guidance counselors, as we work with both higher ed and K-12 schools.  (We brand the system as "Grade Guardian" for our K-12 clients.)  We allow you to build dashboards of just the students assigned to you, so it's great for sports coaches too.  You can find more information and some brief videos at our Partner page here in the Community, at this link:
