Grade Analytics

[LRWC]

Hello, 

I am a tech specialist asking this question for an administrator at my school. Is it possible for Canvas to notify me (administrator) when a student's overall grade in a class becomes lower than 70%?

@LRWC ...

I'm not sure if there is anything built-in to Canvas that would give you that notification.  However, I'm not sure if something like Dropout Detective and Instructor Insights from AspirEDU would meet your needs?  I'm going to tag @Chris_Munzo in my reply here in hopes that he might be able to provide some more information for you.  (I used to work at a Technical College in Wisconsin where we used Dropout Detective and Instructor Insights for a few years, so that's my connection to Chris and his team.)

Good luck!

Thanks, @Chris_Hofer !  To answer your question, @LRWC , our Dropout Detective software does retrieve and notate each student's overall grade in a course, every night.  We can trigger automated email to the student based on that grade.  We can provide you a nightly data file that lists a number of data points for each student, which includes their overall grade.  And we risk-rate each student every day, based on a number of variables (including overall grade).  We don't have the ability to trigger an email to a school user based solely on the overall grade.  But you might want to look at our capabilities on the Canvas Partner Pages:  https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Partner-Listings/Partner-Listing-AspirEDU-Inc/ta-p/428557
