Hi,
I would like to know whether Canvas supports custom features like:
- Can it display/handle a 'Like' feature for a content
- Can it support/store the time spent by a user on a content
Hi,
I would like to know whether Canvas supports custom features like:
Thanks for the reply Chris Hofer.
I did have a look at your suggestions, they we a little off track for me.
Let me try to put my problem:
I also had a look at the access report which you suggested. This report only gives me information of how many times the course content was accessed, but it doesn't give how much time was spent on viewing the content.
I hope this gives you an idea of my problem statements.
Are there any custom features (custom API) available in Canvas which can be used to solve my problem.
Appreciate the help.
Thanks!
As far as I have been able to find, Canvas does not have a rating system for content in that regard. Your best option would be to create a survey addressing, but it would not automatically update/adjust what content is added/changed/removed. These surveys would need to be maintained in addition to the course content.
I've also been unable to locate a breakdown of activity time reporting. There is the overall time, reported on the People list, but there does not appear to be any form of reporting for individual activity access times.
Hello again, anil pathiyala...
In addition to the information that Christopher Esbrandt has given you today, you might want to check out this "Canvancement" by James Jones called Obtaining and using Access Report data for an entire course. This is not a part of the "core" Canvas product, but James has provided a way for people to get more detailed information from those Access Reports for your students. It might contain the information you are looking for. I hope this helps.
Hello there, anil pathiyala
Welcome to the Canvas Community, and thank you for posting your question here. I'm not sure if this response will completely answer your question, but I'll give it my best shot.
The only thing that I can think of where students can use a "Like" for a piece of content is Discussion topics. Check out the section called "Add Discussion Options" within this Guide: How do I create a discussion as an instructor?
When you log in to a course as an instructor, you can look at the time spent on an item by going to the "People" page of a course. How do I view the course access report for an individual user?
If you are looking for more than just these things, please come back to this topic to further explain so that members of the Community might be able to help you out. Thanks!
