You can also access New Analytics from the New Analytics button in the Course Home Page.

Page Views and Participations

A page view occurs when a user opens a page in a course, providing insight into how course resources are accessed. However, because page view data is based on server requests, it should be used as an approximation of activity rather than an absolute measure. This data is most useful for identifying whether activity occurred and for comparing trends across students or over time.

Participation in Canvas includes specific actions where a user actively engages with course content. The following student actions generate course participation analytics:

Announcements: Posts a comment on an announcement
Assignments: Submits an assignment
Collaborations: Opens a collaboration to view/edit a document
Conferences: Joins a web conference
Discussions: Posts a comment in a discussion
Pages: Creates a page
Quizzes: Starts or submits a quiz
