[ARCHIVED] If your school is closed due to COVID-19, have you been using "New Analytics" to discover which students have been active/not active in course activities?

A teacher at my school recently contacted me about her ability to view her students' user data in a course.  I went ahead and turned on the "New Analytics" feature in our Canvas instance.  I am curious to learn what other schools have been using this feature, especially due to school closures. Has these insights helped you and your teachers?  Thanks.

The New Analytics feature seems to give data a couple of days or more late. So it's not really accurate. I don't want to accuse a student of not logging in all week to find they have actually been completing all tasks and it is not being picked up. Submit a support ticket if you have the same issue and hopefully, it can be resolved.

YES!  I was using that before COVID-19, but it has been a fantastic tool in checking in on students since we can't 'see' them everyday... I also LOVE being able to send a mass Inbox message to those students that haven't completed assignments yet...
