How do I use inline Chat as an instructor?
If configured for your institution, inline chat allows you to communicate with other users in a course from areas other than the Chat page. Inline chat will appear everywhere within a course except the Gradebook, Course Analytics, and SpeedGrader.
When inline chat is enabled, any user viewing a course will appear as online on the Chat page. Currently there is no load limit for a course chat, but larger numbers of course users may affect performance.
You can also chat with course users from the Chat page.
Notes:
- If you cannot view inline chat, it has not been enabled for your institution.
- Chat alerts are not available for inline chat.

How do I view analytics for a student in a course?
Student analytics show you how well a particular student is doing in your course. You can also view student analytics after your course has concluded.
Your institution may allow students to view their own course analytics, which helps show them accurate information about their course activity and interactions. If this permission is enabled, your view and the student's view of their analytics is the same.
Notes:
- Viewing analytics is a course permission. If you cannot view analytics, your institution has restricted this feature.
- Currently, analytics does not measure activity on mobile devices.
- Analytics can also be accessed through the People page and viewing a student's user details page.
