How do I send a message to an individual student based on specific course participation criteria in New Analytics?

When comparing the course average to an individual student, you can send a message to the student in the analytics page.

Sent messages can be viewed within the Sent folder in the Conversations Inbox.

Only active and completed student enrollments are included when determining recipients for New Analytics messaging. Inactive, deleted, or dropped students are not included.

If a student does not appear in the recipient list or search results, check their enrollment status or recent drop date.

Messaging is based on the most recent data refresh. Activity that occurred after the last update will not appear in the message criteria.

Page views and participations include activity from all supported browsers and Canvas mobile apps.

Notes:

  • If you cannot view the New Analytics link in Course Navigation, you may have to make the link visible via the Navigation tab in Course Settings. If the New Analytics link is not available in the Navigation tab, your institution has disabled this feature.
  • Data is refreshed in New Analytics every 8 hours. However, when the New Analytics feature option is first enabled, it may take up to 24 hours before the complete data set becomes available. Make sure to also check the time data was last updated in the course, as content may be outdated compared to recent course activity and student submissions.
  • In order for New Analytics to display in Canvas, third-party cookies may need to be enabled in your browser settings.
