There are four sections/tabs within New Analytics: Course grade, Weekly Online Activity, Students and Reports. Find out about each in the sections below.

Course grade is the default view when you first launch New Analytics. The average course grade is displayed at the top of the page together with the date/time that data was last refreshed.

On the right side of the page, you will see three icons that allow you to email students, download a CSV file or click the 3-dot icon for options to view the chart as shapes (default view) or as a data table (list view):

Beneath this is a chart that displays data points for each assessment activity represented by dots.  Blue dots represent graded activities and clear dots represent ungraded activities.

The default view displays dots in the chart for every Canvas assessment activity within the course, but you can uncheck check boxes to view data for individual activities – e.g., assignments

Note: If there are too many activities to view, a bar will display immediately above the chart that allows you to scroll along the timeline
