Hi Canvas Community. Right now, audio files just show a default music icon as a cover image when they are embedded in a course page (see the attached picture); and setting a "cover metadata" in the audio file doesn't make any change. So, is there any way to change that default cover image of an embedded audio? Thanks in advance.

Hi. Just to remark what I said in the another post: I have also experienced the CTRL + F issue using the Pretty HTML Editor. This is very frustrating because in our institution we use this shortcut a lot as we create the pages. Anyway, Ctrl + F works fine in the Raw Editor. So, we are using Raw Editor despite the Pretty Editor looks, actually, prettier. I hope the Support Team can fix this issue in the next release. Thanks in advance.

I also have the same keyboard shortcuts issues reported by @and-hu and @jnc , specially with CTRL + F. This is very frustrating because in our institution we use this shortcut a lot as we create the pages. Anyway, as @JeffCampbell said, Ctrl + F works fine in the Raw Editor. So, it's sad, but we are using Raw Editor despite the Pretty Editor looks, actually, prettier. I hope Instructure can fix this issue in the next release.

@marcelo_noce I'm glad to tell you that I found a way to allow students to access New Analytics. I don't know why there is no documentation about it... or at least I never found it. Anyway, you can allow students to access "New Analytics" and check their own progress, by adding a new item to the modules of a course, then select "External tool", and then select "New Analytics". And that's it. But, be aware that "New Analytics" shows 48 hours (or so) delayed data. So, if the student uses it when there isn't any data about him or her from two or more days ago, they will see an error message. But if the student interacts with the course, after that time the error message will dissapear. I hope this could help. Anyway, I still think that the students need something more detailed to track their progress.

In our university, we are looking for something that allows students to monitor their progress in a course. I mean, not only to check the modules they've already completed, but something more detailed. Something like, for example: to check the time they spend in a module or page, times they visited a page, graphs showing their grades over time, hours a month they spend in the course, and so on. I think this kind of functionality is more important right now, because of the new learning behaviors the pandemic is enforcing. I think the online learning the students are facing right now gives them more responsibility for their own education. So, in that sense: the students need more and better ways to monitor their own progress. And to be more specific, it would be great if Canvas Developers allow students to access the "New Analytics" functionality to see their own data. Or maybe a new functionality to monitor progress could be created, only for the students.
