How do I view course statistics?

Course statistics give you a glimpse into which assignments, discussions, and quizzes are engaging students and what might be improved in the future. It will also help you to detect which students are not participating to the fullest or have started to fall behind the rest of the class.

You can also view current user role totals from the Course Settings page.

To learn about specific file quota details, view the Course Files Quota resource document.
