Running Attendance reports for early alert intervention

[JosephDL]

I teach and am a senior admin for DL at my university. Is there any way to run (or automate attendance reports) for larger sets of data?  Specifically, I would like to be able to run attendance reports at the departmental level (i.e all BUS courses), and then again at the college level.

It is obvious that Canvas has this data and the ability to separate it at a granular level, but I cannot see the option at my account level.  Is this possible with an administrative account?  I want to set up better early intervention for students who would be flagged for low engagement. Typically we try and do this manually at the professor's level, but it would be much easier to run a report on an entire department or college and sort the data in a spreadsheet.  I missed two students last semester who had engaged for a few weeks, but then dropped out and failed.  I would like to be able to run a large report weekly and have someone in advising or admissions check the report for early warning signs so we can be more proactive about catching potential drop outs.

@Chris_Munzo, would Dropout Detective help @JosephDL in any way?

Thanks, @Chris_Hofer  — @JosephDL  Our early alert system, Dropout Detective, does give you the ability to report on data elements like Last Course Access Date and Last Submission Date at the sub-account level.  We can also give you the ability to pull reports based on Roll Call attendance data, though it’s not available in as granular a form as the other data elements.  I would be happy to have a more detailed discussion about your needs, if you’d like to do that.  You can contact me through the Community or visit our Partner Page and reach out that way, too.  Thank you!
