[ARCHIVED] Monitor students' viewing/download of word doc for assignment

[DeletedUser]

Hi all--

I am trying to upload a word doc, which includes an exam, as an assignment. I have figured out how to upload into the assignment tab, but what I want to know is:

1) Can I monitor precisely when students download this word doc?

2) Can I monitor if students view the word doc but not download it? I believe there is a feature to view it before downloading.

Thanks!

Hi @DeletedUser 

Currently, there is no way for a teacher to track student access to your uploaded document - either viewing or downloading.

You could create a new Idea Conversation for this ability.

• How do idea conversations work in the Canvas Community?
• How do I create a new idea conversation in the Canvas Community?

Good luck,
