Canvas has this definition (see below) for page views vs participation. I'm trying to figure out how to determine this within the Canvas Data 2 data set? What tables and filters are needed to determine this?

What are Page Views and Participations?
A "page view" is when you open a page in a course. Page views can indicate how a user has been accessing course resources. However, because page view data is based on requests to the server, use page view data only as a good approximation to activity and not an absolute metric. Page view data is most valuable for understanding whether activity occurred, and to make comparisons across students within a course or when viewing trends week to week.
Several actions define "participation" in Canvas and collectively describe events where a user takes an action within a course. The following student actions generate analytics course participation:
- Announcements: posts a new comment to an announcement
- Assignments: submits an assignment
- Collaborations: loads a collaboration to view/edit a document
- Conferences: joins a web conference
- Discussions: posts a new comment to a discussion
- New Quizzes: submits a new quiz
- Pages: creates a page
- Quizzes: submits a quiz
- Quizzes: starts taking a quiz
