Obtaining Canvas Course Data

There are several locations where you can locate course data depending on whether an assignment, discussion, or quiz was made available to students. 

Course Analytics

Course analytics will show you activity by date, assignment submission information, and the ability to view grades over time. This feature will help you investigate concerns with a student accessing the course or questions about whether assignments have been submitted.
