New Analytics

[tmclain]

Would it be possible to include observers in a message sent through New Analytics? For example if I have a student failing the course (58%), I can message the student based on his or her overall grade. I was wondering if an "Include Observers" option could be added to the New Analytics message so the parent could also be notified?

Hi @tmclain 

Here's a list of what Observers can do in Canvas. The red indicates that you can send messages. 

Observers can
• View and read announcements
• View assignments index page
• View the calendar
• Join conferences, if invited
• Join collaborations, if invited
• View personal inbox
• Send conversation messages to instructor and student they are observing
• View the dashboard
• View and read discussions
• View files unless they are locked
• View grades of student they are observing and filter, view scores and dates, and print grades
• View modules and see due dates, point values, etc.
• View pages and contribute if the instructor enables the Anyone can edit it setting
• View profile pictures, if available
• View syllabus
• View outcomes
