My organization is required by a couple of states to track how long a student is in the course and how long they are on the page. Based on other posts I have read so far, this functionality may not be available yet. How do organizations track the student's time in Canvas if it's required for licensing approvals but the functionality is not available yet?
Thanks for any information you can provide!

Sometimes time can be a bit difficult to track in Canvas. For example, if a student were to walk away from his/her laptop while still logged in to Canvas, it is still logging time in the course. With this in mind, how would you calculate actual time spent doing course work? Just something to think about as you work through this. Hope it helps in some way.
