Instructor Engagement Reporting

[Carter41]

I'm looking for a product similar to AspirEDU's Instructor Insights that allows you to evaluate instructor participation. Or does Canvas have a built-in tool for this? Thanks!

Hello! 

Root admins have the ability to view teacher/instructor activity within a course leveraging Admin Analytics. There are a variety of filters and options that admins can leverage to get a view of teacher/instructor activity. 

Here are some guides to help you understand the filters and the data: 

• How to use Admin Analytics: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Admin-Guide/How-do-I-use-Admin-Analytics/ta-p/562116 
• Admin Analytics Chart and Data Definitions: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Resource-Documents/Admin-Analytics-Chart-and-Data-Definiti... 
• Course Analytics Information to help decipher the admin analytics: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/What-is-Course-Analytics/ta-p/73

Thank you. The only statistic I'm seeing for instructors is this:

The Teacher Use of Canvas Courses chart displays the number of teachers (instructors) who are enrolled in 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4+ courses with activity. 

We are looking to get a snapshot of instructors in a given term that haven't graded or replied to any discussion posts within a course. Is this possible?

Hi @Carter41,

I could be wrong but I do not believe that is possible with native functionality in the Canvas LMS.

If you wanted something like this from Instructure, you would need to subscribe to "Intelligent Insights" and use "Ask Your Data".

If you are struggling to manipulate the Canvas Course Analytics, you could also leverage CD2. You'll want to develop your SQL to target the weblogs table, enrollments, and courses tables.
