[New Analytics] Reports of Login Dates and Times - NOT Just Last Access

Problem statement:

The current New Analytics report is very limited.

  1. When checking the Weekly Online Activity graph, instructors can only see the overall trend of student activities, such as going up or going down. When wanting more details and reviewing the data tables, all we can see is their total page views and participation during the week. This is not helpful.
  2. Dates and times of each activity students visit/view are not available. For instance, I had students who claimed that they couldn't access the course, so they couldn't complete the assignments. However, after reaching out to Canvas support, your representative was able to track the exact dates and times they did access the course. Such information should be available to each instructor.
Proposed solution:

Give instructors access to students' daily access report which should include

  1. each date and time they access the course and
  2. which pages they view on which date(s).

Instructors should be able to export these data in PDF and Excel format.

User role(s):
