[ARCHIVED] Find courses with a lot of activity

[tobe_baeyens]

Hey,

We have more than 4000 Canvas courses in our institution. I was wondering how I could find courses that have a lot of activity. Teachers of these courses are probably early adopters. It would be nice to figure out who they are.

Thanks,

Tobe Baeyens

A good place to start would be to look at which course is getting the most requests. This isn't always going to answer your query adequately but it can begin the discovery process.

The two methods I'm aware of to analyze this data is to setup https://community.canvaslms.com/community/answers/data?sr=search&searchId=293efa05-f918-4f70-b62c-6a...‌ or Google Analytics. There's a good webinar coming up on Canvas Data, https://community.canvaslms.com/events/2172-accessing-your-canvas-data-with-canvasdataviewer?sr=sear...‌ and a good user document on GA, https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-9211-how-to-set-up-google-analytics-for-canvas?sr=search&se...‌.
