Course analytics will show you activity, assignment submissions, grades, and students. You can view analytics in both active and concluded courses.

Notes:

• Viewing analytics is a course permission. If you cannot view analytics, your institution has restricted this feature.
• The Analytics button only displays once students have been enrolled and students have started to participate in the course.
• Currently, analytics does not measure activity on mobile devices.

Admins or instructors can start a new course in Canvas. New courses are created as course shells to host courses for their institution. Some institutions will have this option disabled and instead provide courses to faculty automatically via SIS (student information system) imports.

Note: If you are not able to start a course as shown in these instructions, your institution has disabled this feature. Contact your Administrator for assistance.

If you have permission as an instructor, you can reset course content with your course Settings in Canvas. However, resetting course content permanently removes all content and it cannot be recovered.

When you reset course content, you reset all content in the course including:

• Course ID—external URLs will no longer direct back to the course unless they are manually changed
• LTI tools added at the course level

Course details and enrollments will remain intact within your course. Following the content reset, your course will no longer appear in the Dashboard and must be viewed through the Courses Menu in Global Navigation.

Note: If you cannot reset course content, this feature has been restricted by your institution.
