External App Usage Data

[rikki_corniola]

I work in assessment at my college and I'm looking for ways to identify user activity with external apps.  Is there a way to download user data (clicks, time spent, etc.) with external apps configured within courses? 

Thanks!

It looks like this has been discussed before, but it isn't super easy to do. It requires some use of the Canvas API: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Question-Forum/Using-Canvas-API-to-find-external-tool-usage/m-p/1...

@nardell has a blog post in the developers group on this as well: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Developers-Group/Find-external-tool-usage-in-course-shells/ba-p/2...
