Summary of Outcomes Alignment for Canvas Admin

[DiaelThomas1]

Hi all! 

I work in the Office of Assessment and Evaluation at my institution and we have just started utilizing the Canvas outcomes function. I would like to keep track of how many faculty have linked outcomes in their courses to assignments. Since the outcomes tab has % coverage for alignments, I'm hoping there is a way to see this across all courses at our institution. I am a Canvas admin and have access to our CD2 datalake (as well as support from IT) but I'm not sure where what I'm looking for is stored at scale. If anyone has any other ideas on how to easily track this that I'm not thinking of, I'm all ears!

Hi @DiaelThomas1,

I do not have a specific answer for you but I have a starting point for you.

If you go to the documentation for the Canvas Data Access Platform and "canvas" dataset at https://developerdocs.instructure.com/services/dap/dataset/dataset-namespaces/dataset-canvas, on the right-side, you can find references in that area (based on alphabetical order) around "learning_outcome" and "outcome".

Hopefully that helps you get started and maybe someone else can provide more assistance.
