Top Themes and Questions
Student Performance and Engagement
Ask Your Data helps administrators dig into student performance such as missing assignments and low scores, giving educators the opportunity to act before students fall too behind. Understanding the courses where students are struggling most, can help allocate student support resources where they are most needed.
-
How many students have a current score lower than 70% in each course?
-
Which students have more than 2 missing assignments?
-
Show me all students with a score of 50% or less.
-
Give me a list of current active term names. In each term, give me a count of students with a current score in the following ranges: <60%, 60% to 69.95%, 70% to 79.95%, 80% to 89.95%, and >89.95%.
System and Course Management
Course setup and management can be challenging and time consuming. Ask Your Data helps ensure courses are published and ready for student access as well as identifying trends or problem areas needing attention. Identifying courses needing attention can help ensure that students get the most support possible in their learning journey.
-
Which teachers have the most ungraded assignments?
-
Provide a count of all unpublished courses.
-
How many assignments have the word "x" in the title?
-
Which courses have more than 25 ungraded assignments?
User Activity and Engagement
Ask Your Data makes it easier to track individual user engagement and last login, which is helpful for instructors, student success teams, financial aid administrators, and many others. Both scores and engagement, while some students may be perfectly capable of succeeding without a lot of engagement, the combination of both is a pretty telling sign that something may be amiss.
- When was the last time user x was active in Canvas?
- Show students with a total grade lower than 65% or students whose total activity time was less than 20% of the average activity time for their class.
